Getting a Pass

So Chat GPT is now passing exams.

Chat GPT itself had this to say on the matter:

Chap GPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI. It can be used to generate natural language text, including summaries of MBA exam material. However, it should be noted that Chap GPT is not a substitute for studying or taking the actual MBA exams, as it is not specifically trained on MBA-related content and may not always provide accurate or complete information. It is always best to rely on official exam preparation materials and resources provided by the appropriate institution or organization.

This might be the start of knowledge workers being automated, or not. Some will definitely try.
