AI As Being Truthful Or A Liar, Including While At The Wheel Of Self-Driving Cars

Most people assume that AI is dispassionate, unbiased, objective rather than subjective, and indubitably a truth-teller. Often fostered by those sci-fi AI-based robots portrayed in movies, it seems that AI itself has managed to gain an assuredly unearned reputation, perhaps promulgated by a terrific Hollywood agent that keeps AI in generally good stead with the public-at-large (well, other than the cases where the AI decides to wipe out humanity and expunge us from the earth, a rather hurtful act, one would so suppose). In the real world, there is no particular reason to believe that AI is going to be telling the truth. Anyone that interacts with an AI system can get themselves into quite an untoward posture and suffer inadvertent adverse consequences by doting on every utterance of an AI system and blithely accepting such interaction as some form of absolute truth. Let's start with the now known facet about AI potentially containing biases and make our way to the unnerving aspect about AI lying through-its-teeth.
