Cardi B Tells Students to Pass Exams Without Using AI: ‘Don’t Ask ChatGPT for the Answer’
Cardi B told students at Johns Hopkins University to pass their exams without asking ChatGPT for answers, adding a light-hearted warning during her Hoptoberfest performance. Her comment reflects her broader scepticism about AI, including a February post about older relatives being misled by AI content on Facebook.
Cardi was added to the annual Halloween event after Daniel Caesar cancelled, and organisers rescheduled it from Saturday, 31 October, to Sunday, 1 November. Students quoted by the university paper said they were surprised but excited by the change, with some looking forward to hearing Cardi’s older hits.
In short
- Cardi B urged students to pass exams without relying on ChatGPT.
- She performed at Johns Hopkins’ Hoptoberfest after Daniel Caesar cancelled.
- Students welcomed the last-minute switch and event rescheduling.
Explained simply
ChatGPT is a conversational AI tool that can generate answers to questions, including questions about schoolwork. Its responses can be useful, but they can also be wrong, so schools and universities set their own rules for when students may use AI in assignments and exams.
Cardi B is an American rapper known for songs including “Bodak Yellow”. Johns Hopkins University is a research university in Baltimore, and Hoptoberfest is its annual Halloween event. Debates over AI use in education matter because students and universities are weighing how to use these tools while keeping exams a fair measure of what students know.
