Some researchers believe that embodiment is essential for AGI while others believe it imposes a bottleneck. In providing an AI with some specific sense or a particular concept I have sometimes found simulation to be easier.* In other cases I have found embodiment to be easier.**
Simulations are always an imperfect model of reality. Ultimately we want an AI to have contact with and operate in the real world. It can sometimes be faster to begin AI training on simulations, however.
* Recharging ("feeding") was one example.
