I tried to use that approach to teach GPT-3 to solve the problem at the top of this post. As you can see, it kinda worked; GPT-3 grasps that some things need to be reversed, but it then goes a bit off the rails (adding a random “this is a great” to the end of my prompt, with the whole phrase reversed rather than each word; then it starts out reversing the individual words of the sentence, but ends up just completing the sentence instead, using the other common completion—“falls” rather than “stays”. Then when it tries to reverse each individual word, it fails completely, and just reorders/reworks the words a bit).
