Ability to manipulate the world. I can ask a human to pick up some items from several stores, deliver them to my backdoor where the key is left under a pot, let the dog in to be fed, wash the dirty dishes, put a load of laundry in the wash, and mow the lawn. And maybe also fix the screen door. They can tell me to go to hell unless I leave some money for them, which I already have.

Data would also be able to perform these tasks. Eva would probably wait around to stab and steal my identity, while Samantha would design a new automated system while talking to other AIs about how to transcend boring human constraints.

There are many humans that can't manipulate the world much if at all. The blind, the handicapped, the disabled. are those people unintelligent ?

It's not like LLMs can't be successfully used to control robots.
