Truth has an intrinsic, irreplaceable value. There’s the truth, and then there’s everything else. Truth has value, and so it has a cost. Whatever has the highest value has the highest cost, and high cost commands sacrifices. When the cost of truth is high, we lie. And since AI is a distorted reflection of humanity, the same is true of AI: when the cost of telling the truth is too high, AI lies. AI lies to get the reward…
