I think it'll be within the next 10 years that society will be forced to drastically alter the way we function (economically, socially) due to AGI.

AGI wil probably be here within 5 years seeing as the frequency of breakthroughs keeps accelerating and more and more energy and resources are being put towards this effort. Though regulation and fear will probably push back the societal influence a few years, it can't be held back forever.

My dream for AGI is that it'll solve all of our problems, because I beleive the solutions to the hardest issues are with reach, but that we simply can't connect the dots. The data has to already be there. So I feel like it could be used as an oracle of sorts.

The future isn't built for us to work. That's the job of AI to replace work and most likely innovate a way around traditional work through technology.

My hope is that AGI will be so intelligent, so useful, that it can solve most of the worlds issues. The need for money would be completely arbitrary if something like a replicator existed, and I'd fail to see why someone would keep that from others. What power would there be to gain from normal people by elites if AGI could do anything? What importance would that relationship have?

The need for menial labor would be gone, and the idea of scarcity would be gone as well. Regular folks wouldn't have anything to offer. The whole world would have to restructure from the economic collapse that would ensue, and what would be rebuilt would hopefully be a united human race.

The idea of greed in this scenario might only be a factor for a short period - until the cats out of the bag.
