The reason, why agents seek power is to increase their fitness function. The power seeking is logical consequence of having a goal, it's not product of human language. You are writing nonsense...

I'm referring to the research on human language. Fitness function is a part of it as well

No. The power seeking is not result of human language. It's instrumental goal.
I suggest you read something about AI and it's goals.

I understand the mechanisms, I'm referring to conversational goals that are focused on language.

This thread from user /u/theonlybutler is about agentic goals, power seeking is instrumental goal. It has nothing to do with human language being one way or another. Stop trying to fix nonsense with more nonsense.

After re-reading his comment I realized I made an error. You are right, he is referring to the inner mechanisms. I apologize.
