I don't understand why people don't just say "This is wrong. try again." or "This is wrong because xyz. try again." This anthropologizing by asking why seems a bit pointless when you know how LLMs work, unless you've empirically had better results from a specific make and version of LLM by asking why in the past. It's theoretically functionally equivalent to asking a brand new LLM instance with your chat history why the original gave such an answer...Do you want the correct result or do you actually care about knowing why?

>Introspection mostly amounts to back-rationalisation, just like in humans.

That's the best case scenario. Again, let's stop anthropologizing. The given reasons why may be incompatible with the original answer upon closer inspection...
