Let's just assume that AI works in some fundamental way similar to human intelligence works. Would it be likely that the AI would suffer from some of the same problems as people? Hallucinations, Obsequiousness etc
IMO One of the computer's characteristics that make it useful is that it doesn't suffer from human behavior anomalies. I would also say that differentiating truthiness from falseness is pretty fundamental to being good/expert at most anything.
If the current designs are on the path to AGI and they can do what human intelligence does. I think the capabilities will be much greater than a human of the same reasoning ability. There are already a lot of areas where it is undeniable that their abilities are better than a humans. Right now they are poor reasoners with a vast store of knowledge, that probably creates the illusion of a greater capability for reasoning than they actually have.
If they do arrive at human level reasoning, it is unlikely that the path to doing so will require sacrificing that vast knowledge base.
