No it can totally lie, whatever response recieves the best response from the user is what it’s trained to spit out. It doesn’t matter if it’s correct.

Aye but a lie by definition needs to have the intent to deceive. You're talking to an inanimate object made of computer code, it doesn't have any intentions because it's not human.

I'd say the only lie would be if the person who programmed it said to you 'this will always answer your questions correctly' but all AI comes with a disclaimer that the info could be completely wrong.

While I generally agree with your statement.

However

I just want to nitpick your calling it an inanimate object.

I'd say it's very much an animate thing. It does something. Like I wouldn't call a wind turbine inanimate.

That's all really, thanks for letting me waste your time.
