Can AI Lie Like a Pro?

Within the dynamic digital communication sphere, the emergence of sophisticated AI tools offers fascinating prospects and challenges, particularly in behavioural analysis and the evaluation of statements. This critical investigation examines AI's ability, such as ChatGPT's, to construct credible statements, potentially aiding those with deceitful motives. This exploration is pivotal for behavioural analysis professionals, especially in verifying the authenticity of statements linked to criminal acts. The experiment with ChatGPT involves minimal initial information, aiming to assess the AI's capacity for generating plausible narratives and exploring whether it equates formality and detail with credibility. This not only sheds light on AI's limitations in emulating genuine human credibility but also underscores the importance of human discernment in differentiating truth from fabricated narratives, holding substantial implications for behavioural analysis and societal norms.
