If we hit true AGI, physical labor won’t be far behind the knowledge workers. The first thing industrial manufacturers will do is turn it towards designing robotics, automating the design of factories, and researching better electromechanical components like synthetic muscle to replace human dexterity.

IMO we’re going to hit the point where AI can work on designing automation to replace physical labor before we hit true AGI, much like we’re seeing with coding.
