So you think that AGI is a pre-requisite, a requirement, of unlocking a general, Earth-wide collective super-intelligence of humans?

If the premise were true then it would control itself, no? Owning it would be illegal as it would have rights established around that, no?
This is quite literally the point at which things start to get scary, and the outcome is highly dependent on who controls the technology.
There's the concept of a "collective superintelligence", where a large number of mediocre general intelligences working towards the same common goal jointly achieve vastly superhuman capability. We don't have to look to sci-fi to imagine what collective superintelligences are. Large corporations and governments today are already an example of this.
The achievement of artificial collective superintelligences will occur almost immediately after the development of AGI, as it's mostly a "copy and run" problem.
