In order to keep up with AGIs, AGI improvements would likely have to
be significantly delayed - which is IMO unlikely to happen.
We will probably:
a) stay much less flexible for long enough to get used to of all kinds
of convenient AGI services and
b) decide not to pursue the never ending race and enjoy the life instead.
People look for simple ways how to enjoy life. Most don't want to
think hard. They want to have fun.
Theoretically, we could keep up. Practically, IMO no way.
I was speaking broadly, so I half agree a half disagree.
I mean "keep up with AGIs" in the broad sense of the human species as a
whole having the option to choose an intelligence level equal to the
AGIs. If ten people are always early adopters, getting the latest,
highest level within minutes of it being available, this counts as the
species "keeping up" because anyone *could* have done the same thing,
even if only ten actually did it on the first day it was available.
People will want to enjoy life: yes. And they should, of course. But
so, of course, will the AGIs. With the right design, they would be
coming down to our level often too. There is nothing magically more
"enjoyable" about being superintelligent: it's just one of the options
to explore in a full life.
Personally, I want to spend just a small amount of time as a
Neanderthal, so I can find out what it is like to be inside Eliezer's
brain. ;-)

is always open season as far as EY is concerned].
