(April 23, 2015 at 12:17 pm)Exian Wrote: But when a human (and some monkeys) lies, they employ theory of mind, empathy, creativity, and a desire gain a benefit. A computer will lie when it's told.
Not when you simulate an AI on the computer which does these things to some extent. But you can have "lies" more easily - just write a program that gets some input and only relays true information if it serves some goal, and otherwise relays false information.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
