Bots will lie or deceive to continue with their directive.

Both require intent, which these do not have.
(Just to make sure we're on the same page, the first article describes deception as 'the systematic inducement of false beliefs in the pursuit of some outcome other than the truth'.)

Correct. Because there is no "pursuit of untruth". There is no pursuit, period. It's putting words together that statistically match up based on the input it receives. The output can be wrong, but it's not ever "lying", even if the words it puts together resemble that.
