There are some tasks you can't do without vision, but I agree it is dumb to say general intelligence requires vision, vision is just an information source it isn't about intelligence. Blind people can be excellent software engineers etc they can do most white collar work just as well as anyone else since most tasks doesn't require visual processing, text processing works well enough.

I can't think of anything where you require vision that having a tool (a sighted person) you protocol with (speak) wouldn't suffice. So why aren't we giving AI the same "benefit" of using any tool/protocol it needs to complete something.
We have created a tool called "full self driving" cars already. This is a tool that humans can use, just like we have MCPs a tool for AI to use.
All I'm trying to say, is AGIs should be allowed to use tools that fit their intelligence the same way that we do. I'm not saying AIs are AGIs, I'm just saying that the requirement that they use a mouse and keyboard is a very weird requirement like saying People who can't use a mouse and keyboard (amputees, etc.) aren't "Generally" intelligent. Or people who can't see the computer screen.
