Can the 'Gato' AI model out-perform human intelligence?

In reality, in a tech world that's all too used to spectacular announcements, opinion is divided. First of all, the reliability of the model is sometimes put to the test with basic questions, and it makes mistakes. — AFP Relaxnews

Deepmind, a subsidiary of Alphabet specialising in artificial intelligence, recently presented its "Gato" model. This so-called "general-purpose" AI model can reportedly perform more than 600 different tasks. And, in many of these tasks, the AI might even perform better than a human being.

Could Deepmind have built the first general-purpose artificial intelligence model, i.e., a model capable of learning several tasks at once, whereas most AI models are trained for a specific purpose? Since the American company unveiled its new work, the question has been spurring reaction from computer experts around the world.
