There's no evidence that Gato could do this and if there was, Google would let us know. When we finally get to see a generalist agent in a public demonstration, it will be interesting to see if it acts like multiple separate systems that each do their own tasks or if it will actually have a general, integrated way of relating to the world.

Everything follows an S-curve. With classical videogames, we have already passed the steep part of the curve, which is why progress in games seems to have slowed down. I say classical videogames, because once we have immersive realtime AI-generated experiences, we will see a whole new class of videogames which will follow their own S-curve. AI is currently approaching the steep part of its curve.

They only run these polls every few years. I'm certain if a poll of ML engineers/scientists were run today, the average would be in the 2040s. Most of the more vocal people in the industry (Sam Altman, Demis Hassibis) regularly predict on Twitter very short timelines.

None of this is even close to replacing/being competitive with human researchers yet, right? How close are we to "Advanced Chess" where human researchers and AI systems work together to improve AI models?
