“AI: The only thing worse at remembering than me.”

The story behind the toon

What happened: Scientists developed a new test to evaluate AI chatbots' understanding of relationships. Claude 4.6 scored 73%, outpacing GPT-5.4 at 68%, but both struggled with memory and reasoning, especially in astronomy. The test highlights areas where AI needs improvement before we rely on it for tough decisions.

This Neural Toon is based on the story “SciReC: Diagnostic Evaluation of Multimodal, Multi-Turn Relational Reasoning with Adaptive Interaction”.
