At this stage at least, the recreation of the interaction between that artificial body and the environment will be impressionistic at best...
Like we don't even have a full conscious understanding of what we are made from, or what we need to survive.
How do we 'install' those ideas and that imperative in an agent, when we don't fully understand it ourselves?
I'm not entirely supporting one side or another, but I think it's reasonable to bet against the imminent arrival of AGI at this stage, unless some radical discovery comes to light soon.
And if (when?) that discovery eventually comes, I'd suspect it to be a biological one. But then, who knows...
