What happens when ChatGPT decides you’re not a Black woman… but a 40-year-old white man named Ralph?

That’s exactly what happened to attorney and entrepreneur Aubria Ralph, who turned an AI glitch into a full-blown LinkedIn social experiment. She flipped her name, posted as “Ralph Aubria,” and watched the offers, DMs, and algorithm love roll in. The results? Both hilarious and deeply troubling.

In this episode, Marion and Danny unpack:

  • Why AI assumed “thoughtful leader” = white male.
  • How LinkedIn rewarded Ralph with more visibility than Aubria.
  • What happens when bias gets coded, amplified, and normalized online.
  • Why authenticity keeps getting buried under clickbait and copy-paste content.

This is Part 2 of our AI Trilogy — three back-to-back episodes exploring how AI is reshaping trust, work, and psychological safety.

🎧 Listen now to hear how a fake Ralph exposed real bias — and what it says about the future of voice and authenticity online.
