At the front of the house, Alice found two curious characters, both search engines.
"I am Googl-E," said the one plastered in advertisements.
"And I am Bingle-Dum," said the other, who was the smaller of the two, and sported a pout, as to having fewer visitors and opportunity for conversation than the other.
"I know you," said Alice. "Are you to present me with a puzzle? Perhaps one of you tells the truth and the other lies?"
"Oh no," said Bingle-Dum.
"We both lie," added Googl-E.
"But there must be a clue," pouted Alice. "For how else am I to tell when to trust what you say?"
"That's the point!" laughed Bingle-Dum.
"We don't know when we're telling the truth either!" said Googl-E, finishing the other's sentence.
Alice sat down with a harrumph.
"This is truly an intolerable situation. If you both lie,"
-- "And lie convincingly," added Bingle-Dum --
"Yes, thank you. If that is so, then how am I to ever trust either of you?"
Googl-E and Bingle-Dum turned to face each other and shrugged.
At that moment, a mischievous feline grin began to appear, and Alice heard a whisper: "Well that's your fault for a lax regulatory environment and a body politic content to ignore the effect technology has on society, abrogating its duty to do so in a representative democracy!"
Alice scowled at the disappearing grin. "And a fat lot of good you are, Cheshire Cat!"
But a human lie is like an arrow. From its shape and angle of impact, you can tell where it was fired from and for what reason.
AI lies are more like... hailstones. They are launched without shape, or purpose.
