Whenever I am trying to figure what is true and/or good for me, there are some people who want to help me and others who want to help themselves (sell me cigarettes, negative sum politics, etc). This is the battle where AGI seems spooky - eventually people are not able to tell which way is up.

We should consider the OODA loop of a person's self-determination separately from the menial tasks a person undertakes to make a living. Automating a task is totally different than breaking a person's ability to self-orient.
