AGI does sound a lot like a "psychological crutch" when it is pointed at as the answer for wicked problems like climate change. With faith in AGI, nothing else really matters because we can eventually surrender ourselves to the superior direction and interventions of this god we have created. There's no point worrying about anything else.

Human technology has evolved significantly in the last few thousand years but we are all the same religious fruitcakes we've always been, whether or not we can see it.
