Having no arms or legs is not an impediment. A superintelligent AGI would be able to order a replacement with arms or legs as easily as we order Amazon packages.
That said, GPT is not a threat. It's just hallucinating text. The real threat would be an AI that can "understand" what it is doing – and self modifying.
Besides, given how overhyped this whole thing is, expect another AI Winter – as the current gen fail to deliver on promises – before this next generation of threatening AIs even have a chance to appear.
