Well, having an intuitive understanding of human language will be useful for an AGI even if its architecture is profoundly nonhumanlike. And, human language is intended to be interpreted based on social, spatiotemporal experience. So the easiest way to make an AGI grok human language is very likely to give it an embodiment in a world somewhat like the one in which we live. This does not imply the AGI must think in a thoroughly humanlike manner.
