chain-of-thought WAS present in gpt-3. literally when you generated thoughts with it that was it, chain of thought. it could do math better with chain of thought.

i remember the time when people still said stuff like LLMs are not real intelligence and you can tell because theyre not generating economic value, or being skeptical they'll ever generate economic value.

at the time it felt to me like someone saying "but have you caused a societal shift comparable to the industrial or agricultural revolutions as measured by GDP?" as they're slowly transformed into a paperclip by the "transformative AI"
