Abstract

In this article, we explore the potential of ChatGPT to pass the Brazilian Bar Association exam, which consists of two parts. The first part includes 80 multiple-choice, single-answer, questions, with a maximum score of 80 points. The second part comprises a procedural document, worth 5 points, and 4 open-ended questions, worth 1.25 points each, and a human expert evaluates ChatGPT’s responses, in different domains of law. All three versions of ChatGPT performed well in the multiple-choice, single-answer, questions. GPT 4 ranks the highest, achieving a score of 70% of correct answers, followed by GPT 3.5 Default with 55%, then GPT 3.5 Legacy with 53%. However, when it comes to the second part the results are not as good. In the criminal exam, GPT 4 performs the worst, while GPT 3.5 Default performs the best, with GPT 3.5 Legacy coming in a close second. Regarding the business exam, GPT 3.5 Legacy had the worst performance, while GPT 4 achieved the highest score: 5.02. Overall, all ChatGPT versions performed well in the multiple-choice questions, but their responses to open-ended questions were underwhelming.
