The post discusses the idea that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) should not necessarily be viewed through a multimodal lens, suggesting a need for different approaches that prioritize embodiment and environmental interaction. The comments raise a provocative dissenting perspective, suggesting that human-like environmental interaction might be a critical component of AGI development, aligning with John Searle's views on the philosophy of mind and AI. It points toward the importance of sensory experiences and their impact on learning and development in entities aimed to achieve general intelligence.
