This presupposes that "AGI" means:

1) The first AGI we create will immediately break free of our control

2) It will either have already been given, or will find some way to take, control of physical systems

3) It will create the Singularity

4) Its goals will be to advance itself at our expense

None of these are remotely givens. Even if we grant that AGI is possible with our current level of technology (which is also not at all a given), the Singularity is nothing but science fiction. It's an interesting idea, but there's no real reason to think it's close to what an AGI's capabilities would be like in reality.
