How would you do this? Does telling it to quietly think about its answer and not be in a rush to answer have any effect? You could let it answer once and then ask it to refine its answer but that seems wasteful and slow.

You would train a large language model that takes the initial prompt, generates a prompt for the other language model to talk to itself through steps, and then returns the final result once done. Trying to hardcode those thinking prompts probably wouldn't work for the same reason hardcoding intelligence never worked well before.

Basically it would function the same as our conscious thought, that should help it solve a lot of problems.

Edit: Maybe just asking ChatGPT for what steps it should take for that problem in a list. Then you just feed it each of those steps one at a time. It would cost more per prompt than before, but if it can replace the human prompter it is well worth it.
