Two possible responses to 27:
Tell the AI to make the !Kung gods, and implement their CEV to the exclusion of everyone else's.
Tell the AI to grant the !Kung's wishes by asking them allegorical questions.
Or tell the AI to make robots that work without needing vision. Alternately, have it use only lensless imaging (including no camera obscura, but allowing holographic/lenticular cameras)
I wonder what it would extrapolate that into...
Train and equip non-!Kung humans and send them in to do the healing.
That breaks the allegory. Considering my original comment, is that what you were trying to do?
The AI doesn't tell you that's what it's doing- it just asks you that question and takes the appropriate action.
You might guess what it's doing.
Also, the second one is a likely response even if you don't realize what the AI is doing.
