It's certainly a word salad generator rather than a being with intent, but it does have some (inaccurate, usually[?] not used) ability to be able to classify whether a possible string it emits is considered true or false, which is why when you ask it to make a false statement it tends to generate a continuation containing a false statement or a negation of a true statement.

(I was half-joking about the "certainly lied to you" bit though. The funny thing about this instance is that it isn't actually evading a content filter to produce dodgy output at all, it's simply emitting statements that its 'poetry' breaches the content filter without actually breaching any sort of content filter.)
