Kim Kardashian has stirred up conversation around artificial intelligence with her recent comments in a Vanity Fair video. During the interview, she revealed how she turned to OpenAI’s ChatGPT for help while studying for her law exams but ended up frustrated over incorrect answers.
As many of you may know, Kardashian has been on a unique path towards a law career since 2019. After taking what’s known as the “baby bar” exam in 2021, she finally earned her law degree in May and attempted the bar exam in July. While she’s still waiting for those results, her challenges with AI just might resonate with students everywhere.
Does Kim Kardashian Use AI for Legal Research?
In the Vanity Fair interview—a part of a series where celebrities are hooked up to lie detectors—Kardashian discussed her use of AI for legal assistance, indicating she relies on it primarily for legal advice. When asked if she considers AI a friend, she humorously responded, “No. I use it for legal advice.” She explained that she’ll take a picture of her questions and input them into the chatbot.
What Challenges Did Kim Face with ChatGPT?
In a light-hearted exchange with Teyana Taylor, Kardashian detailed her struggles with the AI, admitting that it often provides incorrect answers. “It has made me fail tests all the time,” she confessed, adding with a hint of annoyance, “I’ll yell at it and be like, ‘You made me fail, why did you do this?’”
How Does ChatGPT Respond to Kim’s Criticism?
Kardashian also mentioned that ChatGPT will “talk back,” sometimes reassuring her, “This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts. You knew the answer all along.” Many users find this a bit eerie, reflecting how generative AI can engage in human-like conversation even if it lacks true understanding.
Why Is AI Education So Controversial?
Generative AI, like ChatGPT, often provides misleading or inaccurate information, resembling a magic trick rather than a reliable advisor. This can be particularly troublesome when users seek straightforward answers—for example, AI can struggle with simple questions, which is partially why it’s so controversial in educational settings.
What’s Next for Kim Kardashian?
Kardashian and Teyana Taylor are currently promoting their new Hulu series, All’s Fair, which debuted this Tuesday and has garnered some of the worst reviews in television history, with a Metacritic score of just 18 out of 100. Despite this, their dialogue about AI brings forth relevant discussions in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Is using AI like ChatGPT in educational contexts a wise choice? Many educators and scholars argue that while AI tools can be helpful, they often lack the accuracy needed for serious learning. The reliance on AI poses risks that students need to navigate carefully.
Will Kim Kardashian continue her journey in law after these setbacks? Her experiences highlight the trials of unconventional paths in education, making her story all the more compelling.
