Kim Kardashian Calls ChatGPT Her ‘Frenemy’ After Study Failures

Kim Kardashian has labeled ChatGPT as her “frenemy,” revealing that her reliance on the AI tool during her ongoing law studies has resulted in academic setbacks. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the reality star admitted that the platform’s tendency to generate incorrect information has caused her to fail law examinations.

The Struggle with AI Hallucinations

Kardashian’s study routine involves taking photos of legal questions and inputting them into the chatbot for guidance. However, the outcomes have been far from reliable. “They’re always wrong. It has made me fail tests,” she explained. The situation often escalates into one-sided confrontations, with Kardashian admitting she frequently yells at the interface, blaming it for her poor results.

The core of the issue lies in the nature of Large Language Models (LLMs), which are prone to “hallucinations.” Rather than flagging a lack of knowledge, these systems are designed to predict the most statistically probable response based on vast training datasets, which often results in confident but factually incorrect statements. This phenomenon has already caused significant trouble in the legal sector, where attorneys have faced sanctions for submitting court documents that cited non-existent legal precedents.

Human Instinct vs. Machine Logic

Despite recognizing the tool’s flaws, Kardashian has attempted to engage with the AI on an emotional level, hoping to hold it accountable for its errors. She recounted asking the bot how it felt about causing her to fail, only to receive a response framing the error as a lesson in trusting her own intuition.

Kardashian’s relationship with the software is complex, bridging the gap between frustration and necessity. She noted that she often shares screenshots of these bizarre exchanges with her friends, treating the AI as if it were a sentient participant in a group conversation:

• She questions the AI’s logic when it provides false legal advice.
• She frequently vents her frustrations to the system after academic failures.
• She shares the most frustrating or “toxic” interactions with her social circle to highlight the absurdity of the machine’s responses.

While the AI lacks the capacity for genuine feelings or remorse, Kardashian’s experience highlights a growing trend of users projecting human traits onto sophisticated software—even when that software repeatedly lets them down.
