I value competence above all else, and bullshitting (e.g. using AI to say you used AI) is the opposite of competence. I wouldn't claim he's lying because I have no first-hand knowledge to base such a claim on. I just think his whole persona is about selling the idea that "you don't need to look at the code anymore". I would have a hard time calling that a lie because I think he really believes it. It does mean that I think of him as a fool or a pawn, though: a friendly face whose purpose is to give a feeling of safety and human harmlessness to a destructive agenda of machine supremacy. My moral condemnation for that is as strong as if I thought he was simply lying, and perhaps stronger.
