The closest thing to a lie that I remember the robots saying is "we wish you no harm", but perhaps that is true in the strict sense, in the same way that a scientist conducting medical experiments on lab rats doesn't bear any ill will against the rats, he's only doing his job?
shareIf robots never lie is a lie, perhaps robots always lie.
shareSince the robots' plan was to kill everyone while looking for "new ideas", they were lying from the start. The only way a robot wouldn't lie is if he was programmed that way. But if the robot had artificial intelligence, he would probably lie all the time - just like people do.
shareThere plan was not to kill the human race but to mine all our thoughts. The process doesn't kill us just causes temporary pain. But after that we die of natural causes (via dehydration) as he said so in that way I think he was not lieing.
