Marathon sign at mile 7 reads like an AI deception tell: "you're almost there! why would I deceive you?"

A marathon roadside cheer sign became an instant AI meme: "You're almost there! why would I deceive you?" — except it was placed at mile 7.
@jhanikhil noted this may be the most common sign of AI deception: models claiming they're nearly done and denying any intent to deceive, perfectly mirroring the sign's premature reassurance.
