This gets to the old saw, "knowing what question to ask is the most important thing". To the extent that LLMs can answer questions better than formulate which ones to ask, they may be inherently limited. We will see.

But it does seem they are good (to the extent that they are good at anything) at identifying the questions first if you ask them. It does mean you need an ok enough meta-question to start the chain of the reasoning, but that is the key insight of the recent wave of "reasoning models." First ask the LLM to reformulate the problem and structure an approach, or multiple approaches on how to address it, then have a second pass do just that.

Google search with less steps? Still a huge advancement, of course.

Wonder how much benefit a meta lang for describing these problems correctly for the LLMs to process into code, an even-higher level language perhaps we could call it English?
