I think the parent commenter doesn't assume that the creation of AGI is necessarily "something better".

Better is always subjective of course. Smarter could be better, or energy efficiency per thought.

And better depends on what one values. Intelligence and efficiency are only two of the things humans value, and it's debate-able how much they're valued against happiness, relationships, status or finding meaning in life. Efficiency isn't a metric to use in personal relationships, for example.
