@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if 'i' in msg:
        channel = client.get_channel("742261026686500896")
        await channel.send("i")

The discord Message is an uniterable object (the reason you are getting the error). You are not accessing the information properly. The Message object contains information on the other, channel, etc. You can check the docs on this topic, here. To access the content of the message, you should use msg.content. Then, you can run the test on that. Example:

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if 'i' in msg.conent:
        channel = client.get_channel("742261026686500896")
        await channel.send("i")

msg is an object with several attributes. The text portion is found in msg.content. Try this:

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if 'i' in msg.content:
        channel = client.get_channel("742261026686500896")
        await channel.send("i")
