> Without interaction there can be no intelligence. And there is no interaction without a body of some shape.
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.
A 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.
