09/18/2023, 12:10 PMDo we have a right to lie about this stuff? How important is it for us to be able to present less-than-truthful representations to other people even if the medium is via an AI agent?I've been thinking about systems that provide us the right to lie -- so far, the keenest example I think I've found is in games. Many games are built around at least some aspect of hidden information, and many games empower (invite?) players to lie about the current game state to other players. With a vague gesture, are there ways to construct systems that may lie where that lying is permissible, or made explicit?
