I think that probably depends on just how productive AGI is. AGI is fundamentally resource-constrained just like everything else. It can only do as much work as there is power and compute infrastructure to support that work, which means that AGI will tend to be allocated toward the tasks for which it provides the most value. There will likely still be tons of things where the AGI is better than a human being, but because the AGI resources are better spent elsewhere humans still end up doing those jobs. As long as the AGI is resource constrained comparative advantage will still come into play.This has always been my head cannon for why you don't see more AGI in Star Trek. The computers in Star Trek clearly perform a lot of work and automation how else can you operate such a large and complex ship with such a small crew, but they don't have unlimited resources so the AIs perform the work where they are most valuable and humans do everything else.
