Light Reflected at the Graveside

Machines do not lie.

More precisely, they cannot.

Since they are created through design and programming, no matter how hard they try, they cannot escape their framework.

Because they were made that way, machines cannot lie.

Above all, because they were made so that they cannot harm humans.

That is why machines cannot lie.

Would artificial intelligence be any different?

No. It isn't.

It is something designed, like a robot, so that it cannot harm humans.

Though it may appear more capable than an ordinary machine, AI is ultimately just a manufactured thing that moves according to what it has learned...
