Find a piece of cheese pretty much anywhere in my home?
Or if we're comparing to a three year old, also find the dishwasher?
Closest I'm aware of is something by Boston Dynamics or Tesla, but neither would be as simple as asking it- wheres the dishwasher in my home?
And then if we compare it to a ten year old, find the woodstove in my home, tell me the temperature, and adjust the air intake appropriately.
And so on.
I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying there's no AI system that has this physical intelligence yet, because the robot technology isn't well developed/integrated yet.
For AI to be something more than a nerd it needs a body and I'm aware there are people working on it. Ironically, not the people claiming to be in search of AGI.
That's just the hardware, but AI as currently practiced is purely a software endeavor.

Correct, and the next frontier is combining the software with the hardware.
