If someone found a way to put an actual human brain into SW, but no one knew it was a real human brain -- I'm certain most of HN would claim it wasn't AGI. "Kind of sucks at math", "Knows weird facts about Tik Tok celebrities, but nothing about world events", "Makes lots of grammar mistakes", "scores poorly on most standardized tests, except for one area that he seems to well", and "not very creative".

What is a human brain without the rest of it's body? Humans aren't brains. Our nervous systems aren't just the brain either.

It's meant to explore a point. Unless your point is that AGI can only exist with a human body too.

It's an open question as to whether AGI needs a (robot) body. It's also a big question whether the human brain can function in a meaningful capacity kept alive without a body.
