ChatGPT succeeds in business and legal school exams

ChatGPT has the intelligence to pass prestigious graduate-level exams, albeit not with the best grades.

According to academics at the schools, the potent new AI chatbot tool recently passed law tests in four courses at the University of Minnesota and another exam at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Professors at the University of Minnesota Law School recently scored the examinations blindfolded to see how well ChatGPT could generate answers on exams for the four courses. The bot performed on average at the level of a C+ student after completing 95 multiple-choice questions and 12 essay questions, earning a low but passing mark in all four courses. In a Wharton exam for a business management course, ChatGPT performed better and received a B to B-.

The test results come as more schools and teachers voice worries about ChatGPT's direct effects on pupils and their capacity for academic dishonesty. Even though it is still unknown how frequently students use ChatGPT and how detrimental it might actually be to learning, some educators are moving quickly to reevaluate their assignments in response to the program.
