Machines, computers and robots are nothing more then extentions to the physical/intelectual powers of humans. They don't operate autonomously, but strictly under the control of human beings (we can give it commands, shut them off, and change them). As such, why would we even want to built 'General AI' kind of machines, that would no longer function under the control of humans, but set forth their own goals, and could work against us? There would be no reason for that, except perhaps for a very specific problem domain, in which interaction with humans is simply impossible. For instance, we could set up a General AI kind of machine or machines, to explore a distant planet, which due to long travel time and other limitations is impossible to reach for human beings.
