ChatGPT is capable of reasoning but it has only one tool: "thinking out loud". If you'd like it to solve more complex problems, ask it to do it step by step, writing down the results of each step and only at the end stating the conclusion based on the previously written results. Its reasoning capabilities will improve significantly. It cannot do it "in its head" because it doesn't have one. All it has are previosuly generated tokens. I wrote some examples in this Twitter thread and pointed out some additional caveats: https://twitter.com/spion/status/1621261544959918080 https://twitter.com/spion/status/1621261544959918080
