> If LLMs produced only lies no one would use them!

Yes, they would. Producing lies (well, fiction) is an important LLM application domain.

Correct. But truthiness is not truthfulness.

“Truthiness refers to the quality of seeming to be true but not necessarily or actually true according to known facts.”
