Any Robot, because Robots will be commercial hardware that will be able to run any software.

We can look at historical patterns of different types of software, that occur over and over again.

  1. From Big Companies. The most intelligent AGI capable of a wide range of tasks. Not capable of doing anything that the dominant culture considers immoral. Collects Data on users. Used for manipulation and advertising unless you pay extra for 'add free' AGI. Still will try to subtle nudge you towards specific causes, as well occasionally ask you to buy the paid subscription.However, like operating systems and browsers will have plug ins, and patches you can setup to prevent the AGI from being as manipulative.Think of these like Ad-blocking software for web browsers. The manufactures will make it challenging to install these patches, but if you take some time you'll be able to follow a guide online and do it.
  2. Nich Companies. Capable of doing certain tasks that the big companies AGI doesn't do. These are things the dominant culture sees as immoral such as, sex bots, military bots, stripper bots, cult evangelist bots, racist bots, sexist bots. But also AGI that the big companies AGI isn't good at because of what they choose to focus on. In intelligence, even general intelligence algorithms, there is no free lunch, everything is tradeoffs.
  3. Open source. Capable of attempting almost anything, but with a lower intelligence level. Open source software won't be cutting edge, but could still be very capable for most tasks, such as factory work. It will just be a bit behind.

As soon as Open Source bot is invented, you're looking at someone, somewhere, making 100 of them to design a better Open Source bot, ad infinitum. So this period of time where corporations make ad-centered gen AIs would, for better or for worse, be very transient.
