Not necessarily true. People talk about “fake meat” all the time but it’s clear there’s no level of fraudulence implied by this usage. It’s meant in the sense of “artificial meat”. There are multiple ways the word “fake” is used, and one is as a synonym for “artificial”.
However, in this case, it does seem that there is a level of fraudulence and deception. Given that “fake” often is used exactly the way you say, maybe “fake intelligence” would indeed be a more appropriate term.
Fake meat is still a form of deception; it's something that's not meat pretending to be meat. If lab grown meat gets good enough to be indistinguishable from "real" meat, then it would no longer be fake, it would just be artificial.

Have you been around people who say "fake meat?" Every time I've heard it, it was said derisively and implied fraudulent meat.
Yes. I’ve heard loads of people refer to it as fake without an implied pejorative meaning.

Is “fake grass” (i.e. astroturf) a form of deception in your eyes?
