> Is it acceptable to correct the answer to the query "Eminent scientist" from 95% men, 5% woment to 50%/50% or to the current ratio of men/women in science ? Should we correct the ratio of black to white people in answering a generic question to average across the globe or US ?

I would expect AI to at least generate answers consistent with reality. If I ask for a historical figure who just happens to be white, AI needs to return a picture of that white person. Any other race is simply wrong. If I ask a question about racial based statistics which have an objective answer, AI needs to return that objective answer.

If we can't even trust AI to give us factual answers to simple objective facts, then there's definitely no reason to trust whatever AI says about complicated, subjective topics.

I agree. For specific historical figures it should be consistent with reality. But for questions about broad categories, I am personally fine with some adjustments.

Existing services hallucinate all the time. They can't even do math reliably, nor can you be reasonably certain it can provide actual citations for any generated facts.

Yep, and I would say more broadly speaking if I ask for pictures of vikings, I would expect 100% of them to be white.
