Despite GPT's obvious intelligence it can occasionally give stupid boneheaded responses that even a child wouldn't make, but one user has found that the number of times it makes these brain farts can be reduced by more than half by simply writing the following sentence after you give it your question:
"Let's work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer"
And there are other slightly more complex techniques to reduce that number even more. If something that simple can improve performance that much it makes me wonder what GPT-5 will be like.
