I taught ChatGPT to CORRECTLY perform long-addition on 15-digit numbers

"ChatGPT can't do math" is the general impression.

But this demonstration is a response to that, showing that it can perform addition, if taught to do so, in a manner similar to how we learn addition.

Please note that when ChatGPT conveys the 15 digit sum in the last sentence it says the wrong number, but it gets the "Result: " correct (immediately above).
