  • NPR.

  • This is the indicator from Planet Money.

  • I'm Darian Woods.

  • I'm Waylon Wong.

  • And I'm Adrian 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 M2 money supply is,

  • how AI chatbots affect blind or low vision people,

  • and whether rotisserie chickens are actually more difficult to buy.

  • Oh, so we are talking about rotisserie chickens.

  • Our first listener question comes from Haya Simkin.

  • And I am from Haifa, Israel.

  • I just listened to your episode on getting interviewed with a chatbot.

  • I've heard repeatedly that 70% 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.
