If answer is too lazy, you can tell it to elaborate. However, repairing a lazy context is sometimes slow and unreliable.

To avoid that, use backtracking and up the pressure for detailed answers. Then consider taking the least lazy of 2 or 3 samples.

A good prompt for detailed answers is Critique Of Though, an enhanced chain of thought technique. You ask for a search and a detailed response with simple sections including analysis, critique and key assumptions.

It will expend more tokens, get more ideas out, and achieve higher accuracy. It will also be less lazy and more liable to recover from laziness or mistakes.

TLDR; if GPT4 is being lazy, backtrack and request a detailed multi section critical analysis.
