    Computer programs don’t deceive. They respond programmatically based on input given.

    Any perceived deception from the computer is actually just irrational expectations from the user.

      It’s such a dumb take too. Let’s look at other things that need time to load: video games. Often times the loading screens tell you nothing about what’s actually going on, but hilariously some say things like “weeding the garden” or “sniffing some glue” or other things to that effect.

      “It’s lying to us” is such a… naive take. It’s just spitting out preprogrammed text to essentially say “nothing had gone wrong but we are still working on this.”
