Isn't it implied that sub-human intelligence is not designed to be self-modifying given that monkeys don't know how to program? What exactly do you mean by "we were not designed explicitly to be self-modifying"?
My understanding was that in your comment you basically said that our current inability to modify ourselves is evidence that an AGI of human-level intelligence would likewise be unable to self-modify.
