It is much faster than humans

That means nothing.

Also, here's an example where humans beat machines in image recognition:

The task is the recognition of very small and blurry images. Several different models were used, including a very deep convnet.

Computers have been faster than humans for the last 40 years. That doesn't make them more intelligent.

[deepnet → tomp]

Then by implication this task does not require intelligence ;)

Computers are faster serial processors but brains do more in parallel.

Parallel pipelines only really hit Neural Nets with GPU's and the Imagenet convnet solvers like Alexnet were among the 1st parallel implementations - this gave 30 - 300 speedup but still relatively tiny compared with squishy wetware.
