In a lie detector test that went live on Vanity Fair on November 3, 2025, Kim Kardashian opened up about leaning on ChatGPT to cram for her law exams and how it blew up in her face with constant screw-ups. She was hooked up with a polygraph alongside “All’s Fair” costar Teyana Taylor, and everything came out legit because she’d snap pics of exam questions, plug them into the AI, and end up with bogus answers that tanked her scores.
“If I ever need an answer, I’ll just photograph it and toss it in there,”
She explained.
“But they’re wrong every single time. It’s caused me to bomb tests. like, constantly.”
This whole thing shines a light on how celebs are dipping into new tech, and it sparks some real questions about whether AI belongs in serious stuff like law.
A tweet from X.
At 45, Kardashian kicked off her law journey back in 2019 via California’s apprenticeship route, which lets you study under real lawyers instead of hitting law school. She got inspired by her criminal justice reform efforts, like helping secure the 2018 pardon for Alice Marie Johnson. After four tries, she nailed the “baby bar” that’s the First-Year Law Students’ Exam in December 2021.
She wrapped up her four-year apprenticeship by May 21, 2025, and took the full California Bar Exam in July. Results come out November 7, with names going public on the 9th. That test is no joke last July’s pass rate was just 53.8%. All this while juggling her empire of businesses and endless public gigs shows some serious grit.
During the chat, she called ChatGPT her “toxic frenemy.” She even admitted to yelling at it:
“You made me fail! Why would you do that?”
Sometimes it’d clap back with stuff like,
“Hey, this is just pushing you to trust your gut.”
Her headaches line up with bigger problems in using AI for legal work. A 2024 Stanford study showed that tools like ChatGPT spit out errors or straight-up made-up “hallucinations” in 69% to 88% of legal questions, often skipping crucial cases or basics.
The story blew up online after @PopBase posted about it on X on November 4, 2025, sparking a ton of shade and laughs. Folks like @buffys slammed it as “cheating,” and @erenfromtargets cracked,
“No way I’d hire her as my lawyer… she’d be in court begging the judge to let her check Grok real quick.”
@overdosedontun and others piled on about the ethics of using it for school.
This pushback highlights ongoing arguments about how reliable AI really is. A 2025 report showed how regular people-let alone lawyers-frequently buy into ChatGPT’s legal advice despite the fact that it is full of holes. And with Kardashian shining a giant spotlight, her missteps have the potential to color how everyone views the trustworthiness of tech.
Right around then, on October 29, 2025, OpenAI tweaked its rules to ban ChatGPT from dishing out straight legal, medical, or financial advice, framing it more as a study buddy. That came after scary stuff like someone landing in the hospital from bad health tips.
Kardashian’s tale is a wake-up call on where to draw the line with AI in learning. Sure, these tools make things easier to access, but leaning on them too hard can short-circuit real knowledge, especially in fields with strict rules.
Her honest spill leaves us wondering Can AI actually help us learn, or does it have to earn its stripes first? As stars keep playing with this stuff, their stories might nudge the rest of us to be smarter about it and push for better, more accurate tech.
