It's very easy to show that "AGI should not be designed for NL". Just ask yourself the following questions:
1. How many species demonstrate impressive leverage of intentional behaviors? (My answer would be: all of them, though some more than others) 2. How many species have language (My answer: only one) 3. How biologically different do you think humans are from apes? (My answer: not much different, the whole human niche is probably a consequence one adaptive difference: cooperative communication by scaffolding of joint attention) I'm with Rodney Brooks on this, the hard part of AGI has nothing to do with language, it has to do with agents being highly optimized to control an environment in terms of ecological information supporting perception/action. Just as uplifting apes will likely require only minor changes, uplifting animaloid AGI will likely require only minor changes. Even then we still haven't explicitly cared about language, we've cared about cooperation by means of joint attention, which can be made use of culturally develop language.
