it's not exactly 'lying', look up the definition of lying. But yes, it's confidently pushing FALSE information and unless you dig deeper and probe and push, you'll walk away with FALSE information, and who cares whether it gave you this misinformation in order to mislead you, or because of the (...) hallucination? You end up with the net result: false. And this is the issue with ALL LLMs, nothing seems to have improved here over the last 3 years since chatgpt became the 'thing'.
