ChatGPT passes MBA exam



Deena Theresa has an interesting Interesting Engineering piece on AI system ChatGPT and its ability to pass an MBA exam. 

ChatGPT passes Wharton Business School's MBA exam, gets a B

Sometimes, ChatGPT made "surprising" mistakes in school-level math.

Christian Terwiesch, a professor at the Wharton School School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, tested the performance of ChatGPT in an MBA exam. He questioned the chatbot on Operations Management, a core MBA subject.

The paper, titled 'Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA? A Prediction Based on Its Performance in the Operations Management Course', delved into the implications of ChatGPT's 'academic performance'...

Terwiesch concluded by stating in his study that ChatGPT has "remarkable skills in handling problems as used extensively in the training and testing of our MBA students. Combining the results of the questions, I would grade this performance as a B to B-".

It probably says something about the value of an MBA, of course, but the most important issue here is that it is a sphincter-tightening moment for lots of highly-paid managers.

Sam - yes it is a sphincter-tightening moment for them. Imagine AI managers who know everything there is to know about the organisation and never stop learning. On reflection, I tend to hope there is some fatal AI flaw.

I always thought MBA was basically content-free waffle.

Q.E.D.

Peter - having worked with a few people who went through it, that's my impression too.
