It wrote papers about the Constitution, taxes, tort law, and nearly everything else. \ A chatbot energised by tonnes of internet data was able to pass tests at a U.S. law school. It did this by writing essays on topics like [constitutional law](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/100488/what-is-the-significance-of-the-magna-carta-in-the-history-of-constitutional-law), taxes, and torts. \ To use [artificial intelligence](https://www.mindstick.com/services/artificial-intelligence) (AI), **ChatGPT** from OpenAI, a U.S. company that got a big funding boost from [Microsoft](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12301/microsoft-is-trying-to-kill-passwords) last week, turns simple suggestions into streams of text. \ Due to the good results, teachers have warned that they could lead to a lot of cheating or even mean the end of traditional ways of teaching in the classroom. \ The same 95 multiple-choice [questions](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/124895/hp-hpe0-s54-cheat-sheet-exam-questions-bank-for-guaranteed-success) and 12 article questions were given to **ChatGPT** by Professor Jonathan Choi of the law school at Minnesota University. ChatGPT Explainer is an AI tool for writing On a gadget, you can see a ChatGPT prompt. Peter Morgan of the AP says \ In a white paper called 'ChatGPT goes to law school,' which came out on Monday, he and his coauthors said that the bot got an overall grade of C+. \ Even though this was good enough to pass, the bot always got scores in the bottom half of the lesson and 'bombed' multiple-choice math tests. \ The authors said that ChatGPT 'had a good [understanding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12918/cat-5e-vs-cat-6a-understanding-the-major-differences) of basic legal rules when writing essays and always used good [structure](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23258/choose-your-business-structure-wisely) and composition.' However, when provided an open-ended task, the bot 'often had trouble finding flaws, which is a basic skill on law school exams.' \ In New York [as well as](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2481/can-you-write-a-java-class-that-could-be-used-both-as-an-applet-as-well-as-an-application) other locations, it is against the law for schools to use ChatGPT, but Choi said it would be a good way to teach. \ On Twitter, he said that ChatGPT 'wasn't a great law student working alone.' \ But we think that language models like ChatGPT will be extremely helpful to both lawyers in practice and law [students](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13083/benefits-of-students-who-can-get-online-assignment) taking exams when they work with people. \ In responding towards another Twitter user, he also said that two out of three graders had noticed that the document had been written by a bot, which made it less likely that someone had cheated. \ Choi says the team had a sneaky suspicion, and it proved to be correct because ChatGPT used perfect English and was very repetitive. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2737/chatgpt-prepares-for-and-succeeds-on-u-s-law-school-exams-writing-essays-on-constitutional-and-tax Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
