Chinese characters have morphed and simplified over the centuries. The original characters were mostly recognizable artistic depictions.
It looks to me like writing is a two stage process, starting with cartoon depictions and gradually morphing to abstract marks. Something very special happened in Asia - the cartoon/abstract depictions we're adopted in countries speaking different languages, so while they couldn't speak to each other, they could still write to each other. This success effectively blocked Asia's move to phonic representation. Which is best is now hotly debated, because each approach has its advantages. Now, it would be harder to sell Chinese writing to America that it has been to convert America to Metric standards. The problem with dropping AGI into this is that this would come at the beginning of their history, whereas humans have been evolving as writing has been evolving.
