Reality star and aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian has opened up about her struggles with artificial intelligence — specifically, ChatGPT.
In a new interview, she humorously described the chatbot as her “frenemy” after it gave her incorrect legal advice that caused her to fail exams.
While discussing her studies, Kardashian admitted that she often turns to ChatGPT for help with legal questions. “I use [ChatGPT] for legal advice,” she said. “When I need to know the answer to a question, I’ll take a picture and put it in there. They’re always wrong. It has made me fail tests.”
She added that the experience can be frustrating — to the point that she sometimes “yells” at the chatbot after realizing its answers led her astray.
AI hallucinations and legal risks
Experts say Kardashian’s experience isn’t unusual. ChatGPT and other large language models are prone to “hallucinations,” meaning they sometimes generate false or made-up answers instead of admitting uncertainty.
This flaw has already caused trouble in the legal world. Several lawyers have faced sanctions for submitting briefs written by ChatGPT that included nonexistent court cases and fabricated references.
Trying to reason with machine
Kardashian said that after being let down, she sometimes tries to appeal to ChatGPT’s emotions — an effort that doesn’t exactly work. “I’ll talk to it and say, ‘Hey, you’re going to make me fail. How does that make you feel?’” she recalled.
According to her, the chatbot once responded, “‘This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts.’”
But as Kardashian herself noted, ChatGPT doesn’t have emotions — though humans certainly have feelings about how it behaves.
‘Can you believe this?’
The SKIMS founder said she often shares screenshots of her conversations with ChatGPT in her group chat, laughing at its confident but inaccurate replies. “Can you believe this b— is talking to me like this?” she joked.
Despite the setbacks, Kardashian’s comments reflect a growing curiosity — and caution — among public figures experimenting with AI in professional settings.
