Is HN the whole world? Isn't an AI model supposed to be global, since it has ingested the whole Internet?

How can you express, in term of AI training, ignoring the existence of something that's widely present in your training data set? if you ask the same question to a 18yo girl in rural Thailand, would she draw Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? Maybe not. Or maybe she would.

But IMO an AI model must be able to provide a more generic (unbiased?) answer when the prompt wasn't specific enough.

Why should the AI be made to emulate a person naive to extant human society, tropes and customs? That would only make it harder for most people to use.

Maybe it would have some point if you are targetting users in a substantially different social context. In the case, you would design the model to be familiar with their tropes instead. So when they describe a character iconic in their culture, by a few distinguishing characteristics, it would produce that character for them. That's no different at all.
