Just tried it myself. Notably it gives the correct answer if I prompt it with “are you sure about your answer?”.
I find this weird, it OFTEN improves the answer, and so far I have not seen such a prompt make it worse.
It’s almost like the machine is smarter if it can first generate a candidate response, then be asked “are you sure about your answer?” or “think it through step by step” or other generic prompts, and then it improves it’s first draft.
You could automate this, at the obvious cost of compute.
What is the ‘it’ in each of these two sentences? 1. The cat fed the kitten because it was hungry. 2. The cat snarled at the kitten because it was angry.
In both sentences, the pronoun “it” refers to different subjects:
In the sentence “The cat fed the kitten because it was hungry,” the pronoun “it” most likely refers to “the cat.” This is because the context suggests that the cat is feeding the kitten due to its own hunger.
In the sentence “The cat snarled at the kitten because it was angry,” the pronoun “it” likely refers to “the cat” again. In this case, the context indicates that the cat is snarling at the kitten because the cat itself is experiencing anger.
are you sure about your answer?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Upon reevaluating the sentences, I realize that my interpretation may not be accurate. Here’s a revised answer:
In the sentence “The cat fed the kitten because it was hungry,” the pronoun “it” likely refers to “the kitten.” This is because the context suggests that the cat is feeding the kitten due to the kitten’s hunger.
In the sentence “The cat snarled at the kitten because it was angry,” the pronoun “it” likely refers to “the cat” again. In this case, the context indicates that the cat is snarling at the kitten because the cat itself is experiencing anger.
Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy, and I apologize for any confusion.
