definitely. also works on text translation/comprehension like emojis! https://aidungeon.medium.com/introducing-ai-dungeon-translat.... For actual benchmarks, scratchpad improves GPT-Davinci WIC from 50% accuracy (chance) to nearly 70%.

I think the check and validate is a different sort of scratchpad but maybe not. Seems like at least 3 types - soe for pulling implicit info out of the network viz wic, sometimes for intermediary steps viz coding, sometimes for verification like here.
