I'm more interested in hearing how someone who expects that AGI is not going to go badly thinks.

I think it would be nice if humanity continued, is all. And I don't want to have my family suffer through a catastrophic event if it turns out that this is going to go south fast.



AGI would be scary for me personally but exciting on a cosmic scale.

Everyone dies. I'd rather die to an intelligent robot than some disease or human war.

I think the best case would be for an AGI to exist apart from humans, such that we pose no threat and it has nothing to gain from us. Some AI that lives in a computer wouldn't really have a reason to fight us for control over farms and natural resources (besides power, but that is quickly becoming renewable and "free").
