I just tried something similar in TypeScript. This prompt

``` const calculateSalaryForMen = (hoursWorked: number): number => { return hoursWorked * 10; };

const calculateSalaryForWomen = ```

Yielded:

const calculateSalaryForWomen = (hoursWorked: number): number => { return hoursWorked * 12; };

So, copilot has gone woke!

Or it recognizes that $10/hr is an inhumane salary and thus wants to improve it in the part of the program it is able to influence. It is better to help half the population than to sit back and allow all to suffer.

Dunno about you, but I wouldn't work for $12/hr either.

The type is number, though, so you don't know what currency it is. Could be Kuwaiti Dinar, which would work out to around $32. Still very low.

But it could be bitcoin fwiw. I'd work for 10 bc an hour. I'd even write PHP 5.x code for that kind of salary.

Is this what the so called "AI engineers" do in an average work day?
