    it’s not lying, because it doesn’t know truth. it just knows that text like that is statistically likely to be followed by text like this. any assumptions made by the prompt (e.g. there is an old railway line) are just taken at face value.

    also, since there has indeed been a railway connection between them, just not direct, that may have been part of the assumption.

      I expected it to talk about the actual railway, not invent a fantasy line
