I agree. "Planning" means we come up with alternative sets of steps or tasks which we then order into sequences or acyclic directed graphs and then pick the plan we think is the best. We can also create "Plan B" and "Plan C" for the cases that the main plan fails to execute successfully.

But as far as we know does AI internally assemeble subtasks into graphs and then evaluate them and pick the best one?

Is there any evidence in the memory traces of the executing AI that there are tasks and sub-tasks and ordering and evaluating of them, then taking a decision to choose and EXECUTE the best plan?

Where is the evidence that AI-programs do "planning"?
