I think how the takeover rolls out boils down to a simple energy consumption/creation analysis. AI will let humans do their thing only if their electric energy consumption is negligible. Else it will compete for those resources and win as AI is cheaper (not in energy but in money) and faster computationally-wise.

In other words, humans have to create a new abundant source of electric energy before AGI, or humans will lose means of subsistance.

Exactly my thoughts reading the article.

But then how to define complexity, where to stop context of a thing?
Also, complexity without meaning is just chaos, so complexity assumes a goal, a negentropy, a life.

example of complexity context definition issue:
Computers only exist in a world were humans created them, should human complexity be included in computer complexity? Or can we envision a reality where computers appeared without humans?
