My own thought on this (as someone who believes embodiment is essential) is to consider the rebuttals to Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment.
For now (and the foreseeable future) humans are the embodiment of LLMs. In some sense, we could be seen as playing the role of a centralized AIs nervous system.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoRebuttals of Chinese rooms are also rebuttals of embodiment as a requirement! To say the system of person+books speaks Chinese is to say that good enough emulation of a process has all the qualities of the emulated process, and can substitute for it. Embodiment then cannot be essential, because we could emulate it instead.
