I think this is a great argument against their "intelligence," and explaining why this happens is a really good way to push against the anthropormophization.
They don't "know" things, and it's even fair to say "they don't know how to follow instructions," not in a way that humans do.
Spicy auto-complete. If they're working in the realm of "how to break into stuff," they're going to see ALL THE WORDS about breaking into those things and use those words.
Not "truth" or "instructions." That's for deterministic things like real code.
