It depends a bit on what we mean by AGI.
Even if dualism is true, and humans have something special, that doesn't mean that a paperclip optimizer is impossible. A paperclip optimizer would be very, very smart (in the sense of being able to solve problems and achieving its objective of turning the universe into paperclips), but would not have a consciousness.
