Kim Kardashian's bar exam fail offers a cautionary tale for fans of AI.

Kardashian told Vanity Fair earlier this month that she used ChatGPT to answer legal questions while preparing for her law school exams. According to Kardashian, the AI chatbot frequently provided incorrect answers.

"I use (ChatGPT) for legal advice, so when I am needing to know the answer to a question, I will take a picture and snap it and put it in there. They're always wrong. It has made me fail tests," she said.

It was hallucinating.

According to ChatGPT maker OpenAI, hallucinations are "instances where a model confidently generates an answer that isn't true."

Lawyer and AI expert Logan Brown told Newsweek that "ChatGPT (and other AI tools) can and often are wrong."

As the magazine reported, there are documented instances of lawyers submitting court documents containing non-existent citations generated by AI, with disciplinary action and sanctions resulting in the United States and internationally.

There's a big difference in asking Alexa to order more dog food and expecting ChatGPT to do thorough, factual research.

Hopefully this is a lesson for Kardashian's many followers: AI is easy, AI can sound like it knows what it's talking about, but nothing replaces real work done by a human being.
