There is no experimental basis for concluding that robotic interactions are necessary for genuine AGI to emerge. And, based on insight about how computers actually work the belief that computer-robotic connectivity is essential for AGI to emerge is not insightful. Computer programs react to data whether they are in robots or not. Its all just data.
Strictly speaking, that's true. However, I would argue that some kind of closed cybernetic loop is required for procedural learning to take place. I would also argue that it is much easier for the monkey programming the thing to think in terms of a robot than in some abstract domain.
