I don't belive weren't closer to sentient intelligence than we were when babylonians started counting on tablets. But it seems pretty intuitive that intelligence can exist outside the body. If you suddenly lost your body and had your brain in a computer that could receive audio and video input, couldn't you still act? What if you had no senses and just had info fed into your mind for reflection? I understand the idea of "embodied intelligence" and that sensory awareness is a big part of our intelligence, but I don't see why it would need to be mandatory to be intelligent.

Three thoughts: first people in hospitals constraint to mostly their bed loose IQ points by the day lacking physical interactions, second I'd assume it's about developing intelligence and third I can easily imagine the Internet and its technical restrictions plus its users and their behaviour as some kind of body, useful to let a AI train itself on and achieve goals. But actually I fear the possible outcomes.

A brain deprived of sensory information starts generating its own. Over long enough periods of time, like the protagonist of "One" you might go mad and wish for someone to end it all.
