This is an issue of 'mechanical intelligence' being hundreds of millions of years old and 'higher intelligence' being pretty new on the evolutionary spectrum.

And the AGI will keep you around as a dexterous 'robot' while supervising your thoughts to make sure you're keeping in line I guess, while day after day cranking out more capable robots in which to replace you with eventually.

How will it control me without resolving the paradox? If it gets annoying or meddlesome enough I'll just unplug the power cable, right?

How do you unplug the power on your iPhone? You can't even take the batteries out. But ya, if you assume it will take massive amounts of power to run an AI in the future its easy to see your logical error here.
