The Mercury
|June 24, 2025
WHEN Kim Kardashian dropped a screenshot of her heart-to-heart with ChatGPT on her Instagram Stories, she probably didn’t expect the internet to collectively raise its eyebrows.
The reality TV star and business mogul thanked the AI chatbot for “taking accountability”, prompting ChatGPT to respond in kind: “I really appreciate you saying that ... I'll keep raising my game to meet your standards.”
But beyond the headline-grabbing moment, Kardashian's interaction with ChatGPT reflects something much deeper, a growing trend where artificial intelligence is becoming an intimate part of our daily lives.
Whether it’s for productivity, creativity or even emotional support, more and more people are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT. And while it’s undeniably impressive, it’s also raising eyebrows and sparking debates about how these tools are shaping our thoughts, relationships and even the planet.
Kardashian’s ChatGPT exchange
In the screenshot she shared, Kardashian thanked ChatGPT for its accountability, calling it “huge in my book” The AI chatbot responded with a tone that could almost be mistaken for human, saying, “I really appreciate you saying that. It means a lot especially coming from someone who clearly values accuracy and rigour” The bot even assured Kardashian it would “keep raising its game”.
While we don't know the full context of their conversation, the snippet was enough to set the internet ablaze. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) exploded with reactions ranging from amusement to outright criticism.
