I think the distinction between "lie" and the rest is intent- the danger posed by the latter is that a person who lies knows that what they are saying isn't true. A person who says a falsehood needs to be convinced that it isn't. I think I agree that we're unlikely to ever achieve general AI to the point of ghost in the machine / sentience, though, and the Turing Test won't save us from ourselves in knowing it.
