AGI is AGI, not ASI though. General intelligence doesn't mean sapience, sentience or consciousness, it just means general capabilities across the board at the level of or surpassing human ability. ASI is a whole different beast.

This sounds very close to the “It’s ok to abuse and kill animals (for meat), they’re not sentient”
That's quite the logical leap. Pointing out their lack of sapience (animals are absolutely sentient) does not mean it's ok to kill them.
How many microorganisms and pests have you deprived of livelihood? Why stop at animals?
