Yes, I don't understand it either. I think the opposite is true. If AGI happens and it becomes immensely successful, it would be the best medium to deliver ads and at the same time our jobs wouldn't be safe.

Perhaps the people who like that quote can elaborate why that quote makes sense and why they like it?

AGI would be able to exponentially improve at much, much better money making schemes like high frequency trading. It would beat every online business. It would run 24/7/365.26 farming out tens of thousands of conversations at once, customized to the person it's talking to, for sales, supplier negotiations, marketing, press, etc.

Its costs would be frighteningly low compared to human employees, so it's margins could remain fine at lower prices.

Nobody will have jobs and nobody will be able to buy the stuff offered in the ads
