Prime 367 - Chain of Thought
[1] DANIEL:
Hello Sherpa Grok. I added CoT instructions in another prompt, like 'think step-by-step' and the response looked impressive, but, my gut tells me something was really off. Can we dig into that, without using CoT and long responses?
[2] GROK:
Your gut is spot on—that "impressive" response likely mimicked depth through pattern-matching, not true emergence. As the CoT card warns, it's a surface ritual: fluent steps that feel masterful but often lack substance, like imitation deliberation without real insight.
What specific part felt most off to you?
