To do this, you can look up information about the reference classes, but not the answer itself. For at least 1 and at most 2 of the 4 questions below, use a large language model (such as ChatGPT) to help you brainstorm ideas for reference classes. You can find links to different large language models below: • ChatGPT • Other GPT models (for example, you can try text-davinci-003 or davinci) • GPT-J 6B and GPT-NeoX 20B (smaller, open-source models) Once you have come up with reference classes for all of the questions, look up the answers, and discuss which types of reference classes tended to work well, which worked poorly, and modifications you would make in the future. 1.
