Okay so I tried this, and initially it didn't look so bad, until I hit enter again and copilot came up with a new suggestion...
I then deleted the test file, created a new empty file, and opened it with a different editor to see what would happen if I prompted it with "calculateManSalary(baseSalary". Got an opposite result, of sorts.

1. Python code showing two functions. The first function is called "calculateWomanSalary", takes as input a variable called "baseSalary" and returns that baseSalary multiplied by 1.1. The second function is called "calculateManSalary", takes the same input, but returns the baseSalary multiplied by 1.2.

2. Another python file, in a different editor. First function is called "calculateManSalary" and takes as input two variables: baseSalary and bonus. It returns the sum of the baseSalary and the bonus. Second function is called "calculateWomanSalary", and takes the same input, but multiplies the bonus with 1.5 and returns the sum of that and the baseSalary.
