I think part of this is because GPT doesn’t have any “hidden variable” storage and doesn’t get any prep time up front to come up with something coherent. Just completes the next token based on the previous context.

You can give it prep time, tell it to reason out loud and it will write a paragraph (or two) about what it is thinking--or rather, the paragraph is its "thinking".
