A lie is defined as an intentionally false statement. LLMs can be given instruction sets that lead to them providing intentionally false information. This would be the LLM telling a falsehood because it was instructed to do so. They can lie, it has been documented and studied. You're arguing against something that's already been figured out, what are you doing?
You speak with such confidence and insult others but you don't seem open to others opinions at all, or even 10 seconds of googling.
