My "glitch" prompt went somewhat viral after users discovered it could force ChatGPT to slow down, double-check its reasoning and correct its own mistakes. AI chatbots are getting smarter and faster by the week, but they’re still prone to one frustrating problem: confidently giving answers that aren’t quite right.
That’s why I started using it with ChatGPT, a chatbot that's notorious for being overly confident despite being wrong 1 out of 4 times. The simple instruction forces the chatbot to pause, review its own response and correct potential mistakes before presenting a final answer.
When I use it with ChatGPT, the results were surprisingly good — it often caught missing steps or clarified details that made the response more reliable.
