The headline was confusing and reading the article doesn't really clear things up. I don't think Gill is imagining the same sort of "pretend person" that I would want out of AGI. What I want is a personal assistant that knows me extremely well, is able to tirelessly work on my behalf, and has a personality tailored to my needs and interests. It should be general enough to understand me on a personal level and do a good job anticipating what I want.

That would not at all be a waste of energy to me.

Depends on how much energy it takes. If it takes more resources than it frees, then I'd say it is not worth it.

I am quite sure it'll cost less than it would to hire a human for the job.

I'm talking about the energy and resources to actually create and provide this service.
