That's not really how it works, though. The line `if(dont_know) {make_shit_up()}` does not appear in the source code. It doesn't know it's lying; it doesn't know anything!

You could train one to appear terribly uncertain, but it would still 'lie'.

OK, but it's probability-based. It will pick lower probability answers depending on the temperature. But that means it knows what the probabilities are.

So what it needs is a line of the form 'if(highest_probability < threshold){dont_know()}.

That'd take a whole different model. Remember, these are billions of vectors.
