Fair enough, I did ask for "inspiration" through rather than "motivation" - mainly because I recall a comment on here a few days ago that LLMs are carefully trained to never reveal where the training material came from. So the prompt was aimed at working around that.

Yeah, inspiration, motivation, justification etc are synonyms in this case, the point I was trying to make was something like "LLMs don't know why they do what they do", and asking for them to provide it, will make them come up with it on the spot afterwards, not actually share what the inspiration/motivation/justification was at the time the tokens were sampled.
