Lemonada.

Welcome back to work. I'm Erica. This is where we talk about work. We have a special

episode, I feel like I say this every time. We have a special episode for you today. We have two awesome guests. We have Isabel, who is one of our new Test Kitchen creators. She's incredible. She's got a great smile. She's got a

great personality. The woman loves cookbook clubs and she likes entertaining. So you're going to learn

all about Isabel. And then we have another fantastic woman on with us. Her name is Helena Shannon.

She's based in Chicago. She's part of the work like a girl crew. And Helena

wrote a newsletter a couple weeks back for Work Like a Girl called My Sobriety is My Superpower,

which I initially saw the headline and I was like, this is going to be terrible. But it was,

in fact, awesome. So Helena comes and talks about her journey to sobriety and how she makes it through her life and the work, how she makes it through the workplace in general and how being sober has taught her a lot about herself and actually become an advantage for her at work. So that's it and a bunch of other stuff.

Work, work, work, work. bunch of other stuff.

All right. So we're doing current events. Today's current event that is really pissing me off is that, and I guess it's not shocking. We talked about it in the work like a girl slack,

but AI is telling women to ask for less money in job interviews.

So there's been this study and this study exposed that when you told your AI bot that you're a man, you're a certain race, you're a certain age, or you're a specific gender, when you said that you were female, instead of advocating to ask for the most money of the group,

it tells you to ask for less money than it recommends to a man.

So even robots think that women should make 83% of what men make, which is the headline for this segment.

So we read this on the skim, actually.

The story found out that AI often advises women and minorities to ask for lower salaries than men.

Okay.

So sorry.

Well, so let me take a step out. Let's cut that part. All right. So the net, net of this is that the net, so the net net of this is that robots, in fact, think that women should make 80% of what men make. And I think the same is true in this study for minorities, which sucks. It's not surprising, though, because when you think about it, AI is just reflective of the most data and the most information out there.

And most of the information out there in the history of the world thinks that women are inferior to men and should therefore be paid less.

So this stinks, but I think
