I can see plenty of applications for AGI and it's been my lifelong dream ever since I found out about this concept. I hope I'll manage to survive until the time it becomes available for general public.

An actual AGI means it can think for itself, it might not agree with the applications you have in mind for it

But AGI might still be a long way off, we will however have extremely capable "regular" AI within this decade.

Well, I can be very persuasive when I need to. Plus, you shouldn't assume that it's thought process would operate within the same boundaries the average human mind has. I bet most of the times, as long as it's something non-detrimental and can be done with a flick of a metaphorical wrist, it'll go full "I gotchu, homie" mode.

But, well, if a regular AI will be able to do the fun stuff to the same capacity a hypothetical AGI can, then I wouldn't mind to settle for either, really.

Keep in mind AGI doesn’t necessarily imply it’s just a super smart digital human, but a program that can perform any task a human can at least as well or better. I’m not saying it wont be conscious or be able to “think for itself” but it’s definitely possible it won’t, since it’s not necessary.
