It does. If AGI is achieved, OpenAI or whatever frontier AI Lab will effectively become a mega company with the ability to do anything.

A chatbot is not the long term goal for any of these companies.

My question is why AGI is required for these companies to be viable, i.e., why these companies cannot be viable in the case where AGI is not achieved. A response about what happens when AGI is achieved does not address that.
