Cardi B Tells Students to Pass Exams Without Using AI: ‘Don’t Ask ChatGPT for the Answer’

Cardi B isn’t a fan of students leaning on AI to pass their classes.

During a recent performance at Johns Hopkins University’s Hoptoberfest, the Billboard Hot 100-topping Bronx rapper had a message for the students in attendance. “Y’all better pass y’all motherf–kin’ semester,” she told the crowd. “And don’t ask ChatGPT for the answer.” This isn’t the first time Cardi has shown her disdain for artificial intelligence. Back in February, she tweeted about having to deal with seeing family get duped by AI on Facebook. “Free my older family members from facebook Ai,” the Grammy winner wrote while adding a robot and weary face emoji.

Cardi was a late addition to Hoptoberfest, the annual Halloween event put on by the university’s Hopkins Student Organization for Programming (HOP), after Canadian singer Daniel Caesar had to suddenly cancel. The student paper, The News-Letter, reported that ticketholders learned about the change in an email that read, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Daniel Caesar is no longer able to perform. However, we are excited to announce that our new headliner is none other than…CARDI B!!!”

Students didn’t mind the last-minute change, though.

“I was actually pretty excited about Daniel Caesar, I do listen to a good amount of his music,” sophomore Bhavya Guru told the paper. “When they switched it to Cardi B, I was a little surprised and honestly thought it was fake. I’m honestly really hyped for Cardi B and think it’s going to be a lot of fun. I feel like it’s going to be really good to hear a lot of throwbacks.”

Sophomore Lana Hakma was also hyped about the switch and didn’t mind that the event had to be rescheduled from Saturday, Oct. 31, to Sunday, Nov. 1. “I am personally really excited about the change,” she told The News-Letter. “I like Cardi B a lot better and I know her songs.”

In other Cardi news, she’s been making headlines lately through X Spaces and Instagram Live, respectively. First, she talked about how rap beef is boring. “I don’t even give a f–k about these b—hes anymore,” she told fans. “To be honest with you, it’s like, I don’t even like beefing with rap b—hes anymore, because it’s kinda boring.” Then, about a week later, she spoke on how fame and fortune can change how those around you view you. “Being successful, it is so scary,” she said. “Not even because you just don’t know who’s genuine anymore. You just don’t know who got that secret animosity for you. And it’s so crazy, because you could be cheering for somebody, you could be loving on somebody, and they don’t want that.”
