Decades is plenty of time for society to experience a collapse or major setback that prevents AGI from being discovered in the lifetime of any currently alive human. Whether that comes from war, famine, or natural phenomena induced by man-made climate change, we have plenty of opportunities as a species to take the offramp and never "discover" AGI.
