Why there are roving rotisserie chicken mobs

NPR. This is The Indicator from Planet Money. I'm Darien Woods. I'm Waylon Wong. And I'm Adrienne Ma. And we're here today to discuss rotisserie chickens. Oh, finally. I love a rotisserie chicken, but we're actually here to tackle your listener questions. So today, we're looking at what the heck the m two money supply is, how AI chatbots affect blind or low vision people, and whether rotisserie chickens are actually more difficult to buy. Oh, so so we are talking about rotisserie chickens. This message comes from Mint Mobile. This holiday season, stop overpaying for wireless and switch to Mint.

I just listened to your episode on getting interviewed with a chatbot. I've heard repeatedly that seventy percent of blind people worldwide who are capable of working don't get hired because of the stigma. Would a chatbot help to eliminate this bias? Okay. When we did our episode on these chatbot interviews, I remember the takeaway being surprisingly positive that AI job interviews led to better hiring outcomes. People felt less discriminated against. Although, we did not talk explicitly about blind candidates. That's right. So we took this question to our original source for that episode, Brian Jabarian. As a reminder, Brian is a fellow at the University of Chicago School of Business, and he says he hasn't specifically researched how blind candidates do in AI interviews. But it is possible that a blind candidate might face less discrimination if the AI interview is voice only. They remove visual cues. So on that front, we could say that there is some potential for AI to reduce some form of, like, visual discrimination. Now that's if the interview is audio only. But then what about if the candidate has a certain accent or a really high voice or something that the AI might be trained to dislike? Well, here again, he says there's a a lack of research, so it's hard to predict how a job candidate's vocal characteristics might be judged by an AI interviewer. Though interestingly, there is some research suggesting AI has a harder time understanding certain kinds of accents and non native English speakers. So, Haya, I hope that partially answers …
