Here is ChatGPT's reply:

The phrase "Cogito, ergo sum, cogito" is originally in Latin and is
famously attributed to the French philosopher René Descartes. It can be
translated to English as "I think, therefore I am, I think." The phrase is
often used to illustrate Descartes' idea of radical skepticism and his
argument for the existence of the self or the "I" as a necessary condition
for thinking.


But, despite the confidence of ChatGPT's answer, it isn't right.  Descartes
didn't include the second "cogito."  As someone quipped, this is
"mansplaining as a service."
