Kim Kardashian was asked about her AI use in a new video from Vanity Fair published this week. And the reality TV star blamed OpenAI’s ChatGPT for giving her the wrong answers while studying for tests.
Kardashian has been pursuing a law career through non-traditional means since 2019 and took what’s called the “baby bar” in 2021. She earned her law degree in May and took the bar exam in July, though she’s still awaiting the results, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The actress talked about her use of ChatGPT during a Vanity Fair YouTube video—part of a series where celebrities answer questions while hooked up to a lie detector. Teyana Taylor, star of the recent film One Battle After Another, asked Kardashian questions like whether she considers AI a friend.
“No. I use it for legal advice,” Kardashian said. “So when I am needing to know the answer to a question, I’ll take a picture and snap it and like put it in there.”
Taylor jokingly asked whether she was cheating and Kardashian clarified that it was just to study for her tests, but it often gave the wrong answer. “They’re always wrong,” Kardashian said, stone-faced. “It has made me fail tests all the time. And then I’ll get mad and I’ll like yell at it and be like, ‘You made me fail, why did you do this?’”
Kardashian then said that “she,” referring to ChatGPT, will “talk back to me.” Kardashian said that she tells the robot that it will make her fail, asking it how that makes “her” feel.
“And then it’ll say back to me, ‘This is just teaching you to trust your own instincts. You knew the answer all along,’” Kardashian explained.
Generative AI is notorious for giving bullshit answers because the technology fundamentally doesn’t understand what it’s saying. The responses are perhaps best compared to a magic trick that sounds like it’s capable of reasoning and logic, but it’s really just guessing at the most statistically likely word to put in front of the other. It’s a neat magic trick, but a magic trick just the same. And it’s the reason that AI chatbots struggle with seemingly simple questions like how many R’s are in the word strawberry.
But Kardashian’s response about trying to guilt ChatGPT about giving the wrong answer speak to what’s going on under the hood with all of these AI chatbot. That glimpse at a reassuring voice trying to encourage the user to trust their own instincts is yet another part of the magic trick. ChatGPT’s o4 was notorious for being overly supportive of the user in an almost disturbing way. The upgrade to version 5 was troubling for many users who found o4 to be just what they needed in their lives.
Kardashian and Taylor are both promoting a new show on Hulu called All’s Fair that debuts Tuesday. It’s apparently one of the worst reviewed TV shows in existence, with a Metacritic score of just 18 out of 100.

![Palantir Debuts Chic Chore Coat So the World Knows You’re One of the Baddies
This week, Palantir announced the upcoming release of a new chore coat branded with the company’s logo. The company has been releasing gear since 2024, and this new coat is a great way to tell everyone what you stand for. Specifically, it communicates to everyone in your immediate vicinity that you support ICE and aren’t a big fan of civil liberties. Palantir’s head of strategic engagement Eliano A. Younes tweeted the chore coat this week, which he says will be released on April 30. the lightweight Palantir chore coat [04.30.2026 • 0930 AM EST] pic.twitter.com/9K5fmu3bSs — Eliano A Younes (@eliano) April 21, 2026 X users responded to Younes with the kind of comments that anyone might expect about Palantir, a company aligned with President Donald Trump and the most dystopian elements of our modern surveillance society.
“could it be operated remotely ? detonated? listening ? what’s the features list,” one user joked, while another asked if it had “built in surveillance trackers?” But Younes seemed genuinely offended by the most obvious jokes any reasonable person might be expected to make of Palantir, a defense contractor that prides itself in helping surveil and kill people around the world. He responded with “here for the shitposting but I need to see better from you. this is unoriginal and not funny,” and “not even remotely funny. try harder.”
Even Palantir employees seem to be waking up to what the company stands for, according to a recent report from Wired. When the U.S. launched a missile attack against an elementary school in Iran on Feb. 28 that killed about 175 people, mostly children, the employees reportedly started to question whether Palantir’s Maven technology had been used. Employees are also worried about the company’s lucrative contracts with ICE, an organization that has been terrorizing American streets in particularly heinous ways.
But Palantir seems intent on pushing out gear that allows like-minded people to wrap themselves in a horrifying, anti-American brand. “We want millions of people wearing Palantir merch around the world,” recently Younes told GQ. Younes says he wants Palantir to be a lifestyle brand, telling GQ, “There are people out there wearing Palantir merchandise to signal their alignment with our mission, and that’s exactly what a lifestyle brand is.” That lifestyle, of course, isn’t something that decent people would be proud of. Palantir recently promoted a Reader’s Digest-style version of the book The Technological Republic, co-authored by CEO Alex Karp, in a tweet. The book advocates for reinstatement of the draft, says the “postwar neutering” of Germany and Japan following the atrocities of World War II was an overcorrection, and criticizes the concept of pluralism.
It’s not just the chore coat. The company also sell sweatshirts, t-shirts, and hats, among other items. One t-shirt Palantir sold in 2025 featured an image of Karp along with the word “Dominate.” That item is no longer available for purchase. Younes also suggested to GQ that its CEO was important for Palantir as a fashion brand: “A lot of the store’s designs are downstream of Dr. Karp and our chief technology officer Shyam Sankar’s personal style.” Younes wouldn’t say how many units the company is selling, but did claim, “store sales have increased 64% year-over-year and everything we’ve made has sold out, sometimes in minutes.”
GQ asked about Palantir’s ICE contracts and the other “controversial” things it’s engaged in with the U.S. military, but Younes insisted the company is “not political,” whatever that’s supposed to mean. As the Wall Street Journal recently pointed out, Palantir is leaning hard into selling the “tech-boss-as-hero ethos,” that’s frankly pretty common in Silicon Valley these days. But even some fans of the company think the merchandising effort is embarrassing.
“Unpopular opinion: all these merch posts are so ‘fan boy’ and extra cringe,” one user wrote in the Palantir subreddit about Karp’s Dominate shirt. “Like the stock or don’t, believe in the company or don’t,…. But the incessant merch posts are weak sauce.” Others are fully bought in, with one user writing, “Definitely a collectors item for me, could be worth something one day.” Younes told GQ that Palantir is working on a tennis collection and something for the America 250 celebrations this summer. So if you’re a fan of techno-fascism, keep your eyes peeled. Whatever merch they’ve got planned for the rest of the year could be sold out in no time. #Palantir #Debuts #Chic #Chore #Coat #World #Youre #BaddiesPalantir Palantir Debuts Chic Chore Coat So the World Knows You’re One of the Baddies
