Objectively untrue. Any human who can add two integers or use a knife to cut food or write a word with a pen can afterwards describe what he did at least in some way. Unless he is lying which is a separate topic, we assume an honest attempt. If I wrote a word with a pen via execution motions with my hand, I wouldn't describe it as "I levitated the pen by manipulating gravity with my mind". Or if I added two integers, I wouldn't say that "I created a a lookup table of a many loosely adjacent numbers (different from the numbers in a task) and run statistical analysis on them and did a few more things like that a in a loop". No, I would say that I either calculated sums of decimals, or I I did a school technique with rounding up and then subtracted that adjustment later, or anything which actually happened. If I used a Python sum() in a CLI I would also say that I used exactly that not the other method. LLM can't do it.
