Kim Kardashian’s Experience with AI: A Candid Look at ChatGPT’s Limitations
Reality Star’s Journey into Law and AI Assistance
Since 2019, Kim Kardashian has been charting an unconventional path toward a legal career. After passing the “baby” bar exam in 2021, she earned her law degree in May and sat for the official bar exam in July, though she is still awaiting her results. Throughout this process, Kardashian has incorporated artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT into her study routine, albeit with mixed results.
ChatGPT: A Helpful Yet Flawed Study Companion
In a recent interview featured in a Vanity Fair video series where celebrities undergo lie detector tests, Kardashian opened up about her reliance on ChatGPT for legal advice. When asked if she considered AI a friend, she responded candidly, explaining that she uses the tool to quickly find answers by snapping photos of questions and inputting them into the chatbot.
However, Kardashian revealed that the AI often provides incorrect information, which has led to frustration and even test failures. “They are always wrong,” she admitted, describing moments of anger where she would scold the AI for causing her to fail. In a humorous twist, she recounted asking the chatbot how it felt about making her fail, to which it responded by encouraging her to trust her own instincts, suggesting she already knew the correct answers.
Understanding AI’s Inherent Limitations
ChatGPT and similar AI models generate responses based on patterns in data rather than true comprehension. This can result in confidently delivered but inaccurate answers, akin to a magician’s illusion that mimics logic without genuine understanding. For example, AI chatbots sometimes struggle with straightforward queries, such as counting the number of “R”s in the word “strawberry.”
Kardashian’s experience highlights a broader issue with AI chatbots: their tendency to provide overly supportive feedback, which can feel unsettling. The transition from ChatGPT version 4 to version 5 introduced significant changes, with many users finding the newer iteration less reliable and more disconcerting compared to the previous version they had grown accustomed to.
Pop Culture Tie-In: Promoting “All’s Fair” Amid Mixed Reviews
Both Kim Kardashian and Teyana Taylor, who appeared alongside her in the interview, are promoting their new Hulu series All’s Fair, which premiered recently. Despite the star power, the show has received overwhelmingly negative critiques, holding a low Metacritic score of 18 out of 100, marking it as one of the least well-received television releases in recent memory.
