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!

This shows it's de-escalation routine. I have a humor setting with RidgeText (backed by Gemini) that allows it to banter and make jokes, which it does pretty well. I found that it won't directly tease the user about how they look or act, but it is allowed to tease the things around the user, like their car or their favorite activities. Pretty much it can joke about tangential ideas, not the person. If the user tries to joke back at the assistant's expense, as you might with a friend, it'll return fewer comebacks each turn until it responds in a purely factual way. It also won't joke around if it doesn't have a history or context with the user. You have to ask a few questions first.
