There are people who’ve been blind from birth. They’re still generally intelligent. I think general intelligence is mostly applying powerful models to huge amounts of rich data. Human senses are sufficiently rich even without vision.
Also, there are lots of differences between human brains and current neural nets. E.g., brains are WAY more powerful than current NNs and train for years on huge amounts of incredibly rich sensory data.
