I think people are missing an important nuance when it comes to this "AI passed X exam" series of stories. Can you say a bookshelf or a search engine passes a bar exam because you can ask it any question and you can find an answer there? Does a natural language interface to said bookshelf/search engine make the difference? Storing and retrieving facts is not enough to be a lawyer. Examination systems are built with an assumption an already intelligent person is taking it and verifying that this already intelligent person also learned knowledge necessary to do their job. So even if AI could technically pass the bar exam it does not mean it is good enough to be a lawyer. It is not a general intelligence that can solve a variety of problems, it was just trained to remember a library of fats that a lawyer may need to know but is not enough to make a lawyer from a non-sentient program.
