The difference is whether it’s intentional lying.
Lying is saying a falsehood, that can be both accidental or intentional.
The difference is in how bad we perceive it to be, but in this case, I don’t really see a purpose of that, because an AI lying makes it a bad AI no matter why it lies.
1 a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth.
Your example also doesn’t support your definition. It implies the history books were written inaccurately on purpose (As we know historically they are) and the teacher refuses to teach it because then they would be deceiving the children intentionally otherwise, which would of course be lying.
ALL the examples apply.
So you can’t disprove an example using another example.
What else will you call an unintentional lie?
It’s a lie plain and simple, I refuse to bend over backwards to apologize for people who parrot the lies of other people, and call it “saying a falsehood.” It’s moronic and bad terminology.
I just think lying is wrong word to use here. Outputting false information would be better. Its kind of nitpicky but not really since choice of words affects how people perceive things. In this matter it shifts the blame from the company to their product and also makes it seem more capable than it is since when you think about something lying, it would also mean that something is intelligent enough to lie.
I understand what you mean, but technically that is lying, and I sort of disagree, because I think it’s easier for people to be aware of AI lying than “Outputting false information”.
I think the disagreement here is semantics around the meaning of the word “lie”. The word “lie” commonly has an element of intent behind it. An LLM can’t be said to have intent. It isn’t conscious and, therefor, cannot have intent. The developers may have intent and may have adjusted the LLM to output false information on certain topics, but the LLM isn’t making any decision and has no intent.
IMO parroting lies of others without critical thinking is also lies.
For instance if you print lies in an article, the article is lying. But not only the article, if the article is in a paper, the paper is also lying.
Even if the AI is merely a medium, then the medium is lying. No matter who made the lie originally.
Then we can debate afterwards the seriousness and who made up the lie, but the lie remains a lie no-matter what or who repeats it.
It’s lying whether you do it knowingly or not.

Actually no, “to lie” means to say something intentionally false. One cannot “accidentally lie”

Well, I guess its just a little thing and doesn’t ultimately matter. But little things add up
