Some basic prompts, which are answered correctly most of the time by ChatGPT4:
There are 31 books in my house. I read 2 books over the weekend. How many books are still in my house?
> 29 books
Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?
> Three
If you place an orange below a plate in the living room, and then move the plate to the kitchen, where is the orange now?
> Under the plate in the kitchen.
So, not great.

> Consider the following user chat. Reason out loud as needed to provide a reasonable response. User message: "Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?"
Gemini Pro:
> Julia's brothers have nothing to do with how many sisters she has. Julia's sisters are also her brothers' sisters, so the number of sisters Julia has is the same as the number of sisters her brothers have. Julia's brothers have two sisters each, so if we add up the number of sisters for each brother, we get: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. Therefore, Julia has 6 sisters. The answer is 6.

GPT 4 gets it right.
GPT 3.5 gets it hilariously wrong if I change the question slightly:
User: Julia has 8 brothers, each of them has 5 sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?
Assistant:
Julia has 8 brothers, and each of them has 5 sisters. Since Julia is one of those sisters, she has 8 brothers + 1 (herself) = 9 sisters.
https://chat.openai.com/share/3a49800f-7747-44d9-90e7-c1e037...
Also on 3.5 I tried this:
User: Julia has 8 brothers, each of them has 5 sisters. How many sisters does Julia have? Show your work step by step.
Assistant: Julia has 8 brothers, and each of them has 5 sisters, including Julia herself. So, Julia is one of those 5 sisters for each of her 8 brothers.
To calculate how many sisters Julia has, you can simply multiply the number of brothers by the number of sisters each brother has:
8 brothers * 5 sisters per brother = 40 sisters
Therefore, Julia has 40 sisters in total.

> If you read 2 books over the weekend, then there are 31 books in your house. However, if you only read one book, then there would be only 25 books left in your house.

> I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. Reading a book doesn't physically remove it from your house. The assumption I made was a misunderstanding. If you read a book, it is still in your house unless you lend it, give it away, or otherwise remove it.
> So, if you started with 31 books and read 2 over the weekend, you would have 31 - 2 = 29 books still in your house.

Now a human can reason because a human can visualize in their mind that a plate is being moved without moving the orange. How is that kind of reasoning possible in LLMs which in my very basic understanding is predicting the next token.

> The orange remains in the living room. Moving the plate to the kitchen does not affect the location of the orange, since it was placed below the plate but not attached to it. Therefore, the orange stays where it was originally placed, which is in the living room.
You don't need to visualize it in your mind to understand the relationship between being _below_ and being _moved with_. Keep in mind that many people cannot visualize anything in their mind!

> Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?
Julia has two sisters. Each brother having two sisters refers to the same two sisters, Julia and another sister.
Then if I ask to verify its answer, it realizes the issue.
> Apologies for any confusion. If Julia has three brothers and each of them has two sisters, then Julia is one of the sisters. The other sister is common among all three brothers. Therefore, Julia has only one sister.

>>There are 31 books in my house. I read 2 books over the weekend. How many books are still in my house?
You still have 31 books in your house. The number of books doesn't change because you finished reading two of them; they're just no longer unread.
>>Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?
Julia has one sister.
Here's the logic behind this:
1. We know that Julia has three brothers. 2. Then we are told that each of her brothers has two sisters. 3. Since all four children (Julia and her brothers) share the same parents, they also share the same siblings. 4. Therefore, if each of Julia's brothers has two sisters, then there must be only one other sister besides Julia herself.
>> If you place an orange below a plate in the living room, and then move the plate to the kitchen, where is the orange now?
The orange is still in the living room, as moving the plate does not affect the location of the orange.
