I disagree fully. Can a person born quadriplegic not be considered intelligent simply because they can't interact with things? They can interact by communicating, same as a computer can.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoA quadriplegic has a body, they can move their head, mouth, eyes, etc, and those things can influence the world. That constitutes a perception action loop which is a basic requirement for intelligence. An AI without any actuators is more like a fully paralyzed person. A baby which was born totally paralyzed would in fact be profoundly retarded and they would be unable to communicate or form anything resembling intelligence.

An AI with vocal cords and a microphone in the real world has a body.
