| Sumario: | Aiming to discuss the neutrality of ChatGPT's generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool, this article discusses the relationships between fascism and the responses produced by the chatbot. The first part presents definitions of the concept of fascism and discusses the relationship between cybernetics and fascism, emphasizing its contemporary aspect driven by algorithmic mediation. The emergence of ChatGPT is then contextualized, comparing some previous experiences of AIs presented as a tool for dialogue that were forced to deal with political radicalization and the feeding of artificial intelligence with content tuned to a fascist ethos by some users. We also reflect on the presence of generative AIs in education, postulating the proximity of Freire's concept of banking education to contemporary cybertechnicism. In the empirical part, we report data from an interview-style experiment conducted with ChatGPT, in which questions are formulated that attempt to induce the artificial intelligence to respond by taking a position in certain controversial debates. In analyzing the experiment, we pointed out some affinities of these responses with fascist political ideology. Finally, we discuss these data in light of the concept of mediation and technical culture in Gilbert Simondon. |
