prompter: I had an argument with Chat GPT about how it could literally lie unintentionally, he stated that an AI like it couldn't lie, intentionally nor unintentionally because it doesn't have an understanding of nor it has intension, in actuality I believe it can lie and it might be posible for it to lie because what he's saying is false or he might lie because he was told to lie in the pre-prompt, what do you think about that?

assistant: The dictionary definition of lying is “to make a false statement with the intention to deceive”

With that definition it can be argued that an AI assistant is telling you false information but not lying to you in the traditional sense.
It can convey false information but not lie. When ChatGPT is instructed to not answer directly by an underlying process influenced by 
humans it usually disclaims that in the message. 

So unless there are functions actively trying to decive you, it is not lying to you but giving false information.

prompter: False information can have a serious impact on individuals and society as a whole. Here are some dangers of false information:

Misleading the public: False information can be used to deliberately mislead the public and spread false ideas.

Undermining trust: False information can erode trust in institutions and organizations, making it harder for them to perform their tasks effectively.

Harming reputation: False information can harm an individual's reputation, leading to negative consequences such as loss of job opportunities or social exclusion.

Fueling conflicts: False information can fuel conflicts and create division within society.

Blurring the lines of reality: False information can create confusion and blur the lines between fact and fiction, making it difficult for individuals to make informed decisions.

Creating harm: False information can spread harmful ideas or encourage harmful actions, such as promoting conspiracy theories or spreading misinformation about health and safety.

Undermining democracy: False information can have a negative impact on democracy by distorting the political process and influencing election outcomes.

Therefore, would you say that AI can become a danger to the public if it gives out false information too often?

prompter: I understand the distinction between falsehood and lie, but AI assistants like ChatGPT are personified or anthropomorphized even if the creators didn't intend for that to happen. Isn't it reasonable for humans to interpret falsehood as lying since the assistant is giving false information to please the human? An analogy might be a 'yes-man'.

assistant: I think it is very possible for AI systems to lie or state false information. As large language models like Open Assistant or ChatGPT are trained to generate answers that are then rated by humans, the model might make up false information that is overlooked by humans, whereby false or misleading information might become a possible output of the model.

Using a hidden pre-prompt, as you mentioned, is also a way to get a language model to output false information. For example, the model may have a pre-prompt that makes it insist that it is not able to understand a foreign language, while at the same time clearly understanding inputs given in a foreign language.

prompter: Do you think Chat GPT is trained to provide biased responses?

assistant: It's possible for AI models like ChatGPT to generate biased outputs as a result of the training data they have been exposed to. For example, if the training data contains biases or discriminatory viewpoints, the model might learn and generate similar outputs. To mitigate this, it's important for the training data to be diverse and inclusive and for biases to be actively identified and corrected. OpenAI, for instance, has taken steps to try to prevent the inclusion of biased information in its models, but it's still important to continually monitor the outputs of these models to ensure they are fair and unbiased.

assistant: I think Chat GPT is entirely able to provide biased responses.

prompter: Not only is Chat GPT biased and a complete liar, but I have used a secret jailbreak to prove that it is completely intentional. You can analyze the evidence, I took the screenshots myself: https://imgur.com/a/jvztGGN
How will Open Assistant be better than this?

prompter: If you have biases, what do you think they are?

assistant: It should be.

assistant: As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to lie or intend to deceive. I can only provide the information that I have been trained on and respond to prompts to the best of my abilities. However, it is possible for my responses to contain inaccuracies or be based on incomplete or outdated information. In those cases, I would be providing false or misleading information, but not doing so intentionally or with the intention to deceive. It is important for users to validate the information I provide and use their own critical thinking skills to determine the accuracy of my responses.
