o3 lies much more blatantly and confidently than other models, in my limited experiments.
Over a number of prompts, I have found that it lies, and when corrected on those lies, apologies, and tells some other lies.
This is obviously not scientific, more of a vibes based analysis, but its aggressive lying and fabricating of sources is really noticeable to me in a way it hasn’t been for previous models.
