    Ok, technically you are correct. Still they are lies or let’s call it disinformation or propaganda. Wether the output is controlled by the machine it self having a mind (which of course is sci-fi) or by those who control the machine.

      What you’re calling lies are false positives. To lie you have to know the truth. AI’s are ignorant. They don’t know what anything is, as all they “know” is mathematical patterns in 1’s and 0’s.

      They would only be lies if Google engineers explicitly overrided the model to output the false information. What most implementations of LLM’s are is weaponized incompetence, for-profit. Capitalists know they output false information, and they don’t care, because their only goal is profit and power.

        If Google knows it outputs falsehoods and lets it continue it becomes purposeful. That makes them lies in my book.
