Google can. I did search by image and it identified my picture as a dog. And if you search for "tic-tac-toe" it has a built in game which has difficulty settings up to Impossible (which presumably plays perfectly).

Presumably those are separate systems. I'm talking about multi-task learning.

The point is that we didn't have this in products 5 - 10 years ago. Advancement is being made. It might have a limit, but no one is claiming that we have 100% solved AI; just that advancements have been made and products are not yet taking advantage of all the new possibilities.
