That basic argument makes sense to me but the leap to say that AlphaGo proves automation is accelerating doesn't.
Go is one of many task-specific AI's. It's not clear that it implies anything about generalized AI (which most experts agree is still very far off) or the rate at which task-specific AI's are developed.
