Because there is no such thing as "African American English". There is proper English and then there is slang.

Never heard of AAVE? There isn’t one immutable version of English

Lmao get out you weird bigot

Slang is slang. It's always used verbally. I am not sure why someone would expect a llm to generate proper slang. Not sure at all how stating that fact makes one a "bigot".

What you call "proper English" (or "proper" any other language) is merely an arbitrary construct. It is not set on stone.

That applies to all levels of a language, by the way, not just vocabulary ("slang").

It's bad enough the American's are too stupid to use the proper one that we have to have two.

But people talking incorrectly is not a reason to write like that. Unless it's a character speaking or whatever.
