why wouldn't that be the case, all the most persuasive humans are liars too. fantasy sells better than the truth.
I mean, the joke is that AI doesn't tell you things that are meaningfully true, but rather is a machine for guessing next words to a standard of utility. And yes, lying is a good way to arbitrarily persuade people, especially if you're unmoored to any social relation with them.
