Stars: are they the same as us? In the Vanity Fair interviewKim Kardashian – who is studying to become a lawyer – has discussed her “toxic” friendship with ChatGPT, admitting she failed her law exams after she was given false information.
“I employ it [ChatGPT] for legal advice, so when I need a question answered, I’ll take a picture and take it and post it,” she said. “They’re always wrong. That’s why I failed the tests… And then I’ll get mad and yell at it and say, ‘You’re the reason I failed!’
ChatGPT is prone to hallucinations, which means LLM will sometimes create false responses rather than admit that it cannot answer the prompt with certainty. The technology isn’t necessarily programmed to know what information is “correct” and what isn’t – rather, it’s trained on an unfathomably huge pile of data and prompted to predict the most likely response to inputs that may not be factually right. Some lawyers have been penalized for using ChatGPT when writing legal documents, which becomes obvious to those viewing them because cite cases that do not exist.
Kardashian said she will try to appeal to ChatGPT’s emotions when he fails her, but this is a futile plan because ChatGPT has no feelings.
“I’ll talk to him and say, ‘Hey, you’re making me fail. Why do you feel like you really need to know the answers to these questions?'” she said. “And then he’ll tell me, ‘It just teaches you to trust your instincts.'”
But while ChatGPT may not have feelings, that doesn’t mean we humans don’t have them.
“I’m constantly taking screenshots and sending them to the group chat, like, ‘Can you believe this b—- is talking to me like that?’
