> Real intelligence means you have to say "I don't know" when you don't know

I have met many supposedly intelligent, certainly high status, humans who don't appear to be able to do that either.

I have more confidence we can train AIs to do it, honestly.

While it is true that there are people who do not admit they are wrong when they factually are, your assertion glosses over the fact that most of the people we maintain in our social circle are people we trust through our experiences with them to be honest.
We don't always have control over who everyone we interact with though. We interact with many more people than voluntarily chosen friends.
