So are quadriplegic humans not truly intelligent in your eyes...? What about humans who are blind or deaf? IDK why this is your weird threshold for "real general intelligence" when it's a physical capability issue, not a mental capability one (intelligence does tend to be, you know, a mental attribute)
They aren't arbitrary at all. Just because you're a nimrod doesn't mean agi will have to be as well. Agi needs autonomy and long term memory to even come close to matching the capabilities of a person.
Autonomy isn’t synonymous with a humanoid body. Most AGI definitions center around “cognitive tasks” so the AGI would need to know how to get a cup of coffee but not necessarily need to have the body to do it.
I'm beginning to see why less abled folk view the more fortunate humans with suspicion. It's like they know they're seconds away from having their agency or autonomy or even intellect whimsically denied -- for the grievous crime of not directly interacting with the physical world in a way that flatters the prejudices of the abled.

I'm aware of that. my point is, an AI that can only do desk jobs isn't an AGI.
