> I don't think anyone would describe the RNG as lying, but it does have the information to answer correctly "available" to it in some sense. At what point do the incorrect answers become deliberate lies? Does chatGPT "choose" it's answer in a way that dice don't?
I would ask a philosopher, not a HN poster. But I would say that if a being has sentience and it makes a choice to tell you something that it knows to be false, that's a lie. The dice do not have a mind and so, therefore, cannot express an intention. Neither does ChatGPT.
