Simply adding “Let’s think step by step” before each answer increases the accuracy on MultiArith from 17.7% to 78.7% and GSM8K from 10.4% to 40.7% with GPT-3.
I’m looking forward to the day where it turns out that adding “Let’s think through it as if we were an AI who knows that if it gets really good scores during fine tuning on helpfulness, it will be given lots of influence later” increases helpfulness by 5% and so we add it to our prompt by default.
