"The reaction to telling the suspect this, and what they do next, could very well result in a confession"

... sure, you can extract "confessions" using all manner of lies and pressure tactics like this. A person who is persuaded that the machine is 100% accurate might just decide there's no way out and play along with confessing in the moment because they have no other alternative and it's a very stressful and unusual situation to be in. These are not what I'd call reliable confessions or meaningful information though.
