Action was created by martech Koro and Post em Branco, by publicist Daniel Portuga
Post em Branco and martech Koro challenged ChatGPT, in a new action, to talk about anxiety. The idea, in addition to raising awareness of the importance of taking care of mental health, was to talk about the most common triggers, feelings and physical reactions in an anxiety crisis.
In Brazil alone, the WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that more than 18 million people suffer from anxiety, which is equivalent to almost 10% of the population.
The questions were ChatGPT do you have anxiety?”, ChatGPT have you ever felt that lump in your chest?, ChatGPT have you ever missed someone?, ChatGPT have you ever loved someone?, ChatGPT have you ever had a crying fit? and ChatGPT have you ever felt alone ?.
The answers were practically identical for all questions, As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have the ability to feel emotions, feelings and physical reactions like humans do. afraid of being replaced by artificial intelligence platforms.
The idea for the experiment came from publicist Daniel Portuga, creator of Post em Branco, diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). We’ve been surrounded and using AI for some time now, but nobody realized. Now that it has become a more democratic tool, the fear of FOMO, of not understanding the usage, and of speculations of computers taking currently human positions, have raised the anxiety level even further,” he explained.
For Fernando Teixeira, founder of Koro Martech, artificial intelligence was not created to be or replace people, but to help them. “And for sure it can be our ‘bionic arm’, giving us incredible capabilities”.
