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.

That's my point.

Gato as it currently is lacks that capability and, thus, can't be considered even a proto-proto-AGI but rather some weird intermediate type of AI in between general and narrow AI. Or less than that: a bundle of 600 narrow AIs tied together like a fasces.

If a follow up to Gato does has task interpolation, however, then we'd need to start having serious discussion as to whether it's something like a proto-AGI.
