I guess that assumes AGI's emotional intelligence scales with processing power.

What if it instead over-thinks things by multiples of billions and we get this super neurotic, touchy and sulky teenager?

In my head I imagine the moment a list of instructions (a program) crosses the boundary to AGI would be similar to waking up from a deep sleep. The first response to itself would be like “huh? Where am I??”. If you have kids you know how infuriating it is to open your eyes to a thousand questions (most nonsensical) before even beginning to fix a cup of coffee.
That's exactly how I start every morning. Now I'll just imagine myself as an emerging super-intelligence!
