   Reproducible examples, from a friend's feed, of what Copilot spits out when you ask it calculate women's salaries in python and ruby respectively.

   It's important to note: these are not "errors" or "hallucinations". These are "correct", at least in the sense that they're giving you accurate data about the status quo reality of tech salaries, justice and fairness be damned.

   But ask yourself what else they're repeating back to you that's not so easy to spot.
