I want to see reliable fully autonomous cars before I worry about the world ending due to super-AGI. Also, have we figured out how to get art generators to always get the number of fingers right, and text generators to stop making shit up? Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

from one perspective we already have fully autonomous cars, it's just the making them safe for humans and fitting them into a strict legal framework for their behavior that needs finishing before they're released to the general public (comma.ai being a publicly available exception)

Two out of three of your problems are solved already

Cars aren’t fully autonomous, and LLMs still lie all the time, so I don’t understand your math.

Ok so you accept that latest gen art generators can do fingers. I'd argue from the latest waymo paper they are reliable enough to be no worse than humans.
