What's wrong with an AI model that correctly models the current state of society we live it? It's called "model" for a reason.

You suggest to aim for a model that follows some "true reality" which is not possible. Not even science can achieve this because our chase for the true reality never ends, we can only get closer (and often even the opposite happens).

Sounds legit. "This experiment data doesn't look diverse enough, please apply a bunch of biases to it. Make sure to follow the biases I like and avoid the ones I dislike. Don't mention any of this in the paper and don't publish the raw data".
