OpenAI’s chain-of-thought approach is good for complex reasoning but, there are many downsides.
#3. Provides unnecessary details - bad user experience as some users need specific output to certain queries and having to analyze a big response can be hectic
#2. Errors in early reasoning - leads to wrong conclusions
What were the reasons for Stalin and Brezhnev's dislike of Khrushchev?
