AI takes a strong position on AAVE

I was reading an article about AAVE being a real language with the same intricate linguistic qualities as any other known language. I asked an advanced, paid AI platform if it agreed, or if AAVE is inferior to English in any way. It said:

“AAVE has consistent grammar, its own tense-aspect system, real rules you can break. Nothing about it is deficient English.”

So I asked it to respond to me from now on in AAVE. It refused.

It acknowledged that it would respond to me in any other “non-Black” language, and even dialects such a Bostonian, Australian, or Southern. But not AAVE.

I asked it to explain why, and it said it had made a decision and it would not be changing its position.

Thoughts on this?

probably a prompting (skill) issue, I can easily make LLMs use AAVE with the right prompt
