Kim Kardashian Blames ChatGPT for Failing Her Law Exams: ‘I’ll Get Mad and I’ll Yell at It’

Kim Kardashian Blames ChatGPT for Failing Her Law Exams: ‘I’ll Get Mad and I’ll Yell at It’

The reality star admitted that using the AI chatbot ChatGPT for legal study advice led to repeated exam failures.
Kim Kardashian has revealed that she relied on ChatGPT for legal advice while studying for her bar exams — and claims the artificial intelligence chatbot is partly to blame for her repeated failures.

In a lie-detector interview for Vanity Fair, the forty-five-year-old entrepreneur and aspiring lawyer admitted she had turned to the AI tool when preparing for her legal qualification tests, saying she would photograph questions and send them to ChatGPT for answers.

Kardashian said the responses were often wrong and that she grew frustrated when they caused her to fail.

'It made me fail tests all the time,' she said, explaining that she would 'get mad and yell at it,' only for the chatbot to reply, 'This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts.

You knew the answer all along.' The exchange drew laughter from interviewer Teyana Taylor, who suggested that Kardashian’s relationship with the AI seemed like that of a 'frenemy.' Kardashian agreed: 'I trust it, but it talks back to me like a therapist and tells me to believe in myself.'

The polygraph test confirmed she was truthful about using ChatGPT, adding a touch of irony to her confession.

Kardashian’s law-school journey, which began around 2019, has stretched to six years rather than the standard four.

After passing California’s preliminary 'baby bar' exam in 2021, she has completed her studies and now awaits results from her final bar examination.

Her light-hearted yet revealing comments underline a growing issue in professional education — the temptation to rely on AI tools for learning and decision-making.

ChatGPT, while widely used for drafting and tutoring, is not designed for certified legal study and can easily provide inaccurate or incomplete answers.

For Kardashian, who has championed criminal-justice reform and studied to follow in her late father Robert Kardashian’s legal footsteps, the incident highlights both the promise and peril of integrating AI into human judgment.

While she expressed continued fascination with the technology, her story serves as a cautionary tale about over-trusting machine intelligence in high-stakes testing environments.

Whether she ultimately passes or fails, Kardashian’s remarks have already reignited the debate about the limits of artificial intelligence in education — and about the wisdom of letting an algorithm become one’s legal study partner.
