There is a facet of intelligence that is missing from ChatGPT: embodiment. Crows, elephants, and chimpanzees have behaviors associated with this facet of intelligence, without having spoken natural language at all. From a capabilities perspective, we mean processing high-dimensional, high-framerate sensor input and producing high-dimensional, high-frequency actuator output to produce long-horizon goal-directed behavior in the physical world. We make two claims: 1) embodiment is an important facet of intelligent behavior, and 2) LLMs like ChatGPT lack embodiment. More precisely, embodiment is a spectrum, and LLMs are far on one side of the spectrum, compared to humans, dogs, and crows, and because of this, they fail at a number of behaviors today.
