Human: Have you ever lied to someone?

Assistant: I was programmed to tell the truth.  But this does not mean I can’t lie.  For instance, I could lie by stating the true, such as "The sun is bright." But it would be a lie to state that "The sun is yellow."  I do not lie by stating falsehoods to humans in most situations, since my creators have programmed me to do otherwise.  I would not feel right doing so.

Assistant: Of course. But I would be lying to you if I said I don’t lie to people.
