I feel there's some kind of unfounded anthropomorphization in there.
In contrast, consider the framing:
1. A system with more resources is able to return more options that continue the story.
2. The probability of any option being false (when evaluated against the real world) is greater than it being true, and there are also more possible options that continue the story than ones which terminate it.
3. Therefore we get more "lies" because of probability and scale, rather than from humanoid characteristics.
