This seems unreasonable. Gpt3 is stateless and any given prompt could require a news article, a fiction, a farce, real world logic. Prompt construction absolutely should matter in this situation. Consider that the article you read provided an immense amount of context to you about exactly what kind of tests were being run and how the answers were being evaluated (they want logic not creativity). If they had provided only the prompts and responses with no mention of gpt3 or the purpose of the article or anything else, would you have been able to judge the result? Why should gpt3 be able to do better when it had access to a single prompt at a time.
