Seems very unclear if you could "instruct" true AGI to do something.

Maybe you assume that an AGI would be totally uncontrollable but in this highly speculative exercise I don't think you should assume your position is the only valid one.

First you said it's clear, now you're saying it's highly speculative. Choose one.

I don't, that's why I said "very unclear" (to me). If something is "clear" to you about AGI, then it seems like it's you who makes that assumption.

So you are claiming that by making this statement you are not assuming that it is impossible to control an AGI?

I'm claiming that it's not clear to me whether we can control it or not.

This is similar to having a very advanced bioengineering technology, where you could instantly change anything about your body. Would you make yourself smarter? Sure. Would you change who you are (e.g. turned off your instincts/desires)? Not so sure.
