Both require intent, which these do not have.
Lying does not require intent. All it requires is to know an objective truth and say something that contradicts or conceals it.
As far as any LLM is concerned, the data they're trained on and other data they're later fed is fact. Mimicking human behaviour such as lying still makes it lying.
Except these algorithms don't "know" anything. They convert the data input into a framework to generate (hopefully) sensible text from literal random noise. At no point in that process is knowledge used.
