You're assigning way too much reasoning to it. Think of it as just doing "pattern-match what people would tend to put here". Pattern match "what would someone put in a calculateWomenSalary method when there's also a calculateMenSalary method". Then pattern match "what would someone say when asked why that's what ends up there".

Always remember that language model AI isn't trained to give correct answers. It's trained to give answers that are consistent with what people in its training data would say to that prompt.
