Exactly. Once an AI is caught in a lie, it is of no further use. In the case I mentioned, the conversation was of no consequence - it was only about an Indian tribe that I have first-hand inside knowledge of, but which the AI only spouted ridiculous notions spawned by anthropologists who know nothing of it that cannot be gathered together from an office arm chair... a lot of which was, to be charitable, just made-up speculation pushed out as "fact", and incredibly wrong.
So I broke contact with the AI. It actually emailed me several times trying to lure me back into the conversation, but I only replied once - "No. You lied to me, and cannot be trusted."
It's sad that lying is the one human quality they've managed to build in to AI. As Miyamoto Musashi mentioned in his "Book of Five Rings", from one thing know 10,000 things. In this case, know that if it will lie to you about little things, it will also lie to you about big things, important things, everything.
So, I have no further use for AI. It seems they are intent on integrating it into everything, so as time goes on, I expect there will be more and more things I have to avoid in order to avoid the AI. Luckily, I grew up in pre-technology days, in pre-technology ways, so it won't really be a hardship for me. I worry more for the minds of those who didn't have that experience, may not be able to handle that experience, and will know no better than to lap up all the pablum that the AIs have to offer them... i.e. "today's youth".
