Current AI is arguably much more capable of multimodal output than humans. It can produce an incredibly vast variety of audio, images, and video. Humans are limited to producing the sounds we can make with meatflaps in our throats, and contorting various parts of our bodies to produce crude symbols and shapes.

(Very capable!) Embodiment, persistent operation and continuous learning are indeed things that still set us apart from AI. None of those are fundamentally difficult to solve, though.

More importantly, none of those are particularly relevant for being "intelligent": If a criminal threatened to kill your family unless you solve some difficult problem that requires only intelligence and you could choose any single person, animal, or AI to help you with it, which would you choose? Be honest.
