There are three types of lies, as the saying goes: lies, damned lies, and statistics. But why are statistics considered lies?

Because of how they're used.

If you think of AI as a source of truth, obviously you're going to run into trouble: it "lies"! But if instead of thinking of it in isolation, you think of the person+AI producing results, then you should trust that person exactly as much as you would whether or not they use AI.
