@GaryMarcus Can you be more specific? There have been notable improvements across all of these things over the past four years.

Just because they're not fully solved doesn't mean there aren't improvements.

@peterwildeford They are still a serious problem.

Reasoning is still a serious problem.

Planning is still a serious problem.

Reliability is still a serious problem.
