The data present in the conscious experience of human beings is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. It's definitely a very important part of the puzzle and it's missing from the training data, and it's not clear that it ever can be included. Leads me to wonder if the only way that AGI could ever happen for real is to have embodied, embedded, emotional agents that go around making mistakes and learning from them like we do?

I've thought about this as well: What effect might having a machine where all data was collected via colocated sensory systems, over a continuous period of time have on our approach to create a model for AGI?

I don't believe that would be required to create an AGI, but I do believe this experience would be necessary for an AGI to form the similar concepts of 'self' and 'others' the we have.

AGI itself might likely just be a combination of various specialized models, and not exclusive to any concept corporeal existence, individual identity or awareness.
