This is the “because automation didn’t make labour redundant in the past it won’t do again” argument. I don’t buy this.
Let’s assume that humanoid robots will be equivalent and cheaper than humans for the same job, and that AGI means they’ll be able to do any job (why would you build them if you don’t think that?), any job: trash man, programmer, CEO, or president. At that point, every CEO has the choice of adopting robots for around for 1/20th the cost of humans. Any company that does not do this will go out of business (prisoner dilemma). Therefore, robots will take all jobs.
