For example gender stereotyping for jobs or personal traits, that is politically incorrect but nevertheless reflects the corpus of training data. (He is smart. She is beautiful. He is a doctor. She is a homemaker.)

I don't think "reflects the corpus of training data" gets entails "is therefore an objectively true fact". In fact, I think a lot of people that complain about AI gender stereotyping for jobs or personal traits would _exactly describe the problem_ as AI is "reflecting the corpus of training data".

I don't think anyone disagrees that the AI/ML learns things reflected in the corpus of training data.

My request for an example is one where the AI/ML is reflecting an "objective truth" about reality and people then object to that output. But "the AI/ML is reflecting an objective truth about the training data" fails to satisfy my request for an example, because it falls short of demonstrating that the training data was an accurate and objective reflection of reality.

"Handsome lady/woman/girl" vs "Beautiful gentleman/man/boy". Try in Google Search.

We're just using different adjectives based on gender.

I think you're assuming that if it's in the data, it's "factually true" as the OP puts it. It doesn't work that way. There is such a thing as sampling error, for example.
