    AI is merely reflecting that, as it was designed to do.

    Yes. And everybody knows that. Your comment doesn’t really add anything.

    The point is that biased datasets are a problem that should be fixed - AI models need to comprehend human diversity, and the limitations from the biased datasets we do have need to be properly communicated to users.
