I don't think intelligence can be separated from a body. Intelligent beings exist to fight entropy. They have a body that feels things like pain, pleasure, and hunger which lead to actions that minimize or maximize those feelings. ChatGPT and the like, might have senses like sight or hearing, but those systems are not acting on any kind of self preservation basis. They arent fighting entropy to exist. Once the machines feel hunger, fear, pain and so on and can use their learned knowledge to act in their own self interest then I think we can call them intelligent. I feel like a "body" of somekind is a requirement for pain and pleasure, but who knows? Im certainly not willing to make any predictions.
