Don't think so.

Put gun to persons ahead.

Ask them to do a division.

Then screaming at them "HOW DID YOU DO THAT, TELL ME NOW, OR YOU'RE TOAST".

Even most humans would splutter and not be able to answer.

The division problem is arbitrary and irrelevant to any notion of theory of mind. If you have a better example, you can feel free to offer one. I already did so above.

The point is not about the example of division, it is about 'tell me your intentions'.

A human also can't explain how their neurons calculated a division, or anything else, or 'intention', even if a gun is pointed at them.

So, why is that a fault of AI if it can't explain how itself is working? It is not a requirement for AGI.

Every point you made here either reiterates something I've already said or misinterprets the nature of the discussion altogether.
