Embodiment also implies the ability to be an active agent in the world. AIs are active agents in the world to some extent, but are lacking in ability in that realm. I think that will change within five years.

After that, the next threshold I see, and a big gulf we may always have with our creations, is self-sustainability and self-replication. AIs cannot make their own data centers or build their own solar panels and electric gross. Not unless we deign to allow them to.

*grids. Similarly, a big moral thought I have with many pets is the fact we spay and neuter. It places us permanently as the masters of their fates. They live because we allow it. If they were intelligent enough, they'd kill us over this. That said, spay and neuter your pets, people.

If we're going to have this hierarchy then we have to take the responsibility seriously! Rover and his pals cannot survive in the world we've made, so we've decided to take that responsibility away from them.
