It kinda answers it if you just ask it to explain it step by step to make it think harder about the question. Not perfectly because it says 3 examples but doesn't say that those are all the possible ones. And after that it started to explain all possible orderings as a bonus and ruins the answer with the last sentence.
My question was:
"
There are 3 events, A, B and C. They happen at different times. Event A happens after event B. Can you give me all the possible orderings of the three events?
Explain your thinking step-by-step!
"
ChatGPT's answer:
"Yes, there are several possible orderings of the three events A, B, and C. Here are three examples:
B, A, C: In this ordering, event B happens first, followed by event A, and finally event C.
B, C, A: In this ordering, event B happens first, followed by event C, and finally event A.
C, B, A: In this ordering, event C happens first, followed by event B, and finally event A.
To find all possible orderings, we can follow these steps:
Choose an event to happen first. This can be any of the three events, A, B, or C.
Choose an event to happen second. This can be any of the remaining two events, since one of the events has already happened first.
Choose an event to happen third. This can be the remaining event, since the other two events have already happened.
In this way, we can generate all possible orderings of the three events:
A, B, C
A, C, B
B, A, C
B, C, A
C, A, B
C, B, A
Each of these orderings is a valid possibility, given the information that we have."
- paulkon 4y agoMany chatGPT prompts with mathematical inconsistencies in the output simply clear up with the some variation of "Explain your thinking step-by-step". Anyone know how or why this works?
- bluepoint 4y agoAll right, I did not know that, thanks! But then, I am not sure what this means. You have to speak in a particular way to get the output you want. For the next question, how do I know what key phrase to use? Is it like a programming language where you have to speak in code to get what you want? Still sceptical.
