    The chat machine is just a tool. The problem is that a pay disparity exists in society, and that they did not account for this bias in the training data.

      That disparity gets very narrow when you account for men and women with similar roles, education, time in career and industry.

      Much of that pay disparity is from the jobs we pick. There are also social pressure where a man’s value is determined by how much he makes. Guys are more willing to do dangerous or demanding jobs that pay more.

      The AI is still just reflecting the bias

        Yes, they shouldn’t go for those garbage non-paying worthless jobs like nursing and teacher, instead work in finance and take big bets arbitraging out millions from whole economies.

          Point is that a male nurse of equivalent education and experience is still paid similarly.

          Aggressive jobs that involve competitive industries and high stress like wallstreet which demand a very shit work life balance are not favored by a lot of women I believe. Work/Life balance is something a lot of women have pressure to maintain over men. Like I said though men have more pressure to earn a higher wage. Testosterone is something that just makes men want to compete including earning a higher wage.

            Well…you might want to inform yourself about what a nursing job requires (here’s some of the information you might find: high stress yes, working in shifts that are compromising work/life balance yes, work that requires a lot of lifting heavy things- yes…people who believe your sentiments are the problem - yes)

              I’m super familiar with nursing. They are paid extremely well and have great benefits. And I would argue they are still not paid enough.

              A better example is PSW workers. They are paid not enough and don’t have great benefits and have incredibly hard jobs.

              But we’re talking about population level stuff here. You need to aggregate the jobs women work not just cherry pick a few. Many of the jobs are not nursing. Likewise there are many jobs men do that are demanding and don’t pay well.
