MODERATORS
I can't believe we should ever say this. No, the chat machine is the problem.
The problem is to use LLMs for the wrong things expecting correct answers.
Absolutely, so who is building a study that uses it for the wrong thing and then publishing articles about it
The study wanted to highlight the bias, not to recommend ChatGTP’s advice
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
the society is also the problem
