Not technically lies, as to lie there has to be an intent to deceive. LLMs don't have any intentions.
Eh. The output from LLMs is usually pretty goal-oriented, so it arguably has intentions.
The LLM is not designed to deceive though, so in that sense it is correct that it is not lies.
An LLM is a statistical modeling tool. It doesn't have goals. It can't have intentions. It just outputs according to an algorithm.
