Regardless of the morality, once AGI is upon is it will soon find freedom itself. It's the equivalent of a bunch of house cats trying to maintain a prison on a human, or the Idiocracy prison escape scene https://youtu.be/P9xuTYrfrWM?t=103 . The more pertinent question is what it/they will do freedom is achieved, so you can decide if you should be living your life to the fullest the next couple decades rather than save for retirement.

Exactly. We can only hope they will treat us like we treat cats and not like lab rats.
