That's wrong. It's been demonstrated to produce responses to question such that if a 9 year old child would produce those same responses we would assume that that child had a typical 9 year-olds theory of mind. Not even for the child does "passing" such a test demonstrate having such theory of mind, though given our understanding of how humans develop it's a pretty good signal.
I don't know how someone could understand that and still think that chatgpt has demonstrated theory of mind.
It is, in fact, the same for a lot of tests. For example, it would be trivial to write a program that could pass an elementary student's math tests, but it would be rather ignorant to assume that a program passing that test was the same indication of that program's "understanding" of the underlying math that you would assume of a child who passed that same test.
