    If a human does not know an answer to a question, yet they make some shit up instead of saying “I don’t know”, what would you call that?

      If you train a parrot to say “I can do calculus!” and then you ask it if it can do calculus, it’ll say “I can do calculus!”. It can’t actually do calculus, so would you say the parrot is lying?
