What's a blatant lie, really? ChatGPT has routinely told me about APIs and books that don't exist. And just the other day it told me that paper sticks to my hand because the roughness of my skin creates suction, which I'm almost certain is wrong (I believe it's due to weak chemical bonding, but who knows).

I know I'm being pedantic here, but a "lie" is a deliberate thing. It requires intent to deceive. LLMs have no intent, and therefore they can't lie.

They can certainly be wrong, though.
