> The title is funny to me. We should consider a new computation complexity class for LLMs. Let's call the ones that can be solved with a prompt, Promptable. For the problems that we cannot reliably solve with a single prompt yet, let's call them non-deterministic promptable, or NP.

Promptable is old hat now. I propose an entirely new class of problems which is whether you can prompt GPT to construct a prompt for GPT that can solve a problem. I call it Deep-Promptability™ (patent pending). The "order" is defined by how many levels of prompting can you solve the problem in, so if a problem is order-3 deep-promptable then you can prompt GPT to construct a prompt for GPT that will construct a prompt that allows GPT to solve it.
