Unfortunately that is true, it doesn't mean you have to.

The paper he linked to doesn't rebut OP, they show that prompting GPT-4 to provide reasoning makes it provide better answers. That is a different statement than "GPT-4 is actually reasoning", and can do so consistently on novel problems.

You should probably think about why you think that making the model output reasoning steps which lead it to correctly answer questions it couldn't before is not somehow equivalent to reasoning.
