If there will be actual AGI (or super intelligence), none of these arguments hold. The machines will just be better than any programmer money can buy.
Of course at that point every knowledge worker is probably unemployable anyway.

The only reason why true androids aren't possible yet is software. The mechanics have been pretty much a solved problem.
The control systems/software is different problem, and then there is power (current gen lasts a few hours at most, depending on application this may be a problem or it may not be)
I agree. Other than the control system, everything else is already there, or at least understood. But I think we are much farther away from "true intelligence" than AI boosters claim. We don't even know the path to it. We have guesses, but no hard evidence that those guesses will actually pan out.
"If we just had a stable way to create net energy from a fusion reactor, we'd solve all energy problems".
Do we have a way to do that? No.
Maybe a barrier will appear but doesn't seem like it atm
Why do you assume AGI is smarter than some human?
