Kim Kardashian Turned to ChatGPT for Bar Prep—Did It Pay Off?

Kim Kardashian just gave the most Kim Kardashian explanation for why generative AI is not the move when you are trying to become a lawyer. Short version: she tried using ChatGPT to study, it fed her bad answers, and she blames it for tanking practice tests. Honestly, fair.

Kim vs. ChatGPT, Round 1

On Vanity Fair's lie detector test YouTube series, Kardashian's 'All's Fair' co-star Teyana Taylor asked if she ever uses ChatGPT for life or dating advice. Kim, 45, said no on the romance front, but admitted she does use it for legal stuff while prepping for exams. Her method: take a photo of a question, toss it into the chatbot, hope for the best. The best did not happen.

According to Kim, the bot's answers are usually wrong, it has contributed to her bombing tests, and she has full-on yelled at it afterward. She also tries to reason with it like it's a person, which leads to this hilariously earnest response from the machine:

"This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts. You knew the answer all along."

Teyana called that vibe more toxic friend than helpful tutor. Kim agreed. Hard to argue.

Where Kim actually is in her law journey

• She has been studying via California's apprenticeship pathway (the Law Office Study Program) since 2018 and finished that in May.
• She passed the baby bar and says she still does not consider herself a "real lawyer" yet.
• She has given legal advice to family and friends while juggling SKIMS, acting gigs, and the rest of her very public life.
• She received her California bar exam results on November 7, 2025. As of now, the pass/fail outcome has not been publicly confirmed, but she told The Daily Beast she is "100% confident" she will pass.
• Her motivation is tied to criminal justice reform: after pushing for clemency for Alice Marie Johnson in 2018, she has backed efforts to free nonviolent offenders and supported legislation including the First Step Act.
• Law is the family business: her dad, Robert Kardashian, was part of O.J. Simpson's defense team in 1995.
• Personal life chaos and all (she's been divorced three times, including the high-profile split from Kanye West), the law grind has stayed consistent.

The calm before the results

Hours before those bar results, Kim posted beach photos on Instagram in an all-white look, telegraphing either monk-level composure or elite compartmentalizing. Meanwhile, the California bar is no walk in the park: July 2024's pass rate was 53.8% (per TMZ). So yes, the serene stroll along the rocks was a choice.

So, is AI her study buddy or her nemesis?

If Kim's story proves anything, it's that chatbots are great at confidence and terrible at multiple choice. We'll see if her own instincts beat the bot in the end. In the meantime, 'All's Fair' is streaming now on Hulu.
