No, but there's really very little reason to think that that makes the ol' magic robots less shit in any sort of well-defined way. Like, it certainly _looks_ like they've plateaued.

I often suspect that the tech industry's perception of reality is skewed by Moore's Law. Moore's Law is, quibbles aside, basically real, and has of course had a dramatic impact on the tech industry. But there is a tendency to assume that that sort of scaling is _natural_, and the norm, and should just be expected in _everything_. And, er, that is not the case. Moore's Law is _weird_.
