What would be wrong with an AI based on our revealed preferences?

What AI is based on is what determines the way the world will actually be, so by building an AI with given preference, you are inevitably answering my question about what to do with the world. It's wrong to use revealed preference for AI to the same extent revealed preference gives the wrong answer to my question. You seem to agree that the correct answer to my question has little to do with revealed preference. This seems to be the same as seeing revealed preference a wrong thing to imprint AI with.
