Yeah, Figure 9 is the money figure in this paper and it actually splashes some cold water on the claims in the rest of the paper. While it generalizes OK to some tasks that are held out, it does pretty poorly on the Atari boxing task, which they openly admit is quite different from the others. Gato seems more likely to be a competent attempt at brute forcing our way towards weak general AI, which is a valid approach, but the question then will always be how does it do with something its never seen before, and how do you possibly brute force every possible situation? I think we're heading more towards a constellation of very intelligent expert machines for particular tasks that may be wrapped into a single package, but that are not strong AI.
