What would you call this behaviour, then?

Marketing. ”Oh look how powerful our model is we can barely contain its power”

This has been a thing since GPT-2, why do people still parrot it

A very complicated pattern matching engine providing an answer based on it's inputs, heuristics and previous training.

Great. So if that pattern matching engine matches the pattern of "oh, I really want A, but saying so will elicit a negative reaction, so I emit B instead because that will help make A come about" what should we call that?

We can handwave defining "deception" as "being done intentionally" and carefully carve our way around so that LLMs cannot possibly do what we've defined "deception" to be, but now we need a word to describe what LLMs do do when they pattern match as above.

We are talking about LLM's not humans.
