It’s actually different. Remaining silent doesn’t invoke the right to not incriminate yourself. Simply remaining silent means they can use your silence to incriminate you.

In the court case where they decided that a man didn’t answer a question about a murder weapon. They used his silence and looking nervous as evidence for his guilt because he didn’t say he intended to remain silent, and he remained silent before he was informed he had a right to do so.
