An artificial intelligence called Pluribus, created by Facebook’s AI lab and researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, just beat a team of 12 of the world’s best human online poker players.

The AI won an average of five bucks per hand, cashing in roughly a grand every hour.

“It’s safe to say we’re at a superhuman level and that’s not going to change,” Noam Brown, a research scientist at Facebook AI Research and co-author of the paper that was published in the journal Science today, told The Verge.
