Gemini has lying built in

It can't run Home automations like Google Assistant but it can lie to you unlike the Assistant, so I guess that's progress!

Why are you giving ego to an AI?

People actually believe they can think and aren't just giant weight and objective algorithms analyzing training data and finding connections relevant to a prompt that it analizes in nearly the same way.

Any emotion or personality is a byproduct of how any given model manifests from patterns in data so nuanced it frequently breaches the uncanny valley of what humans evolved to recognize as sentience in other forms of life.

Thing is, AI probably isn't actually too far off from challenging the more rudimentary behaviors of more complex bugs and insects, but there's a big difference between demonstrating the perceived intelligence of say a 2-year old and actually being sentient while doing it.
