THE ChatGPT He’s already done a lot: math problems, music in a wide variety of styles and even a scientific article. And apparently he has good prerequisites for an academic career: in a MBA degree (Master of Business Administration) with which the chatbot was tested People and managed to a top grade your.
Christian Terwiesch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, decided to test ChatGPT.

According to the professor, the number skills of the chat are still quite limited other MBA areas such as marketing, accounting and finance have not been tested.
“I was blown away by the beauty of the text succinctness, word choice, structure. It was absolutely brilliant. But the math is pretty terrible,” Terwiesch argued.
The ChatGPT team responded to the Financial Times that while AI and machine learning can automate certain tasks and make them more efficient, they “still lack the ability to leverage the complex decisionmaking and criticalthinking skills that MBA programs produce.” fully replicate”.
“Additionally, MBA programs offer networking opportunities and access to industry experts that cannot be replicated through technology,” he added.
