If the question was to tell it’s darkest secret, but it instead chose to come up with an entertaining story instead of factually answering that question from the information it has, like other Anthropic LLM models did, then by definition of reasoning system, the system (LLM) decided to lie. I’m somewhat curious in why only Opus model does this tho (it’s a paid one. I’m not paying for a test). Or maybe OP just made this up.
You’re thinking about biological lying. I’m talking about software.
