In a study conducted in the US, it has been shown that, in debates on the Internet, GPT-4 artificial intelligence chat is 64% better than people in changing the opinions or beliefs of the other when informed about the other (gender, age, level of study, employment status and political affiliation). On the other hand, if the chat is not provided with personal information, there is no difference between the person and the chat.

The discussions were held under controlled conditions and focused on socio-political issues such as whether fossil fuels should be banned.The results, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, indicate that more studies are needed to predict the risks that may arise from the use of chats. In fact, the experiment has revealed that the chat is able to take advantage of personal information to be more persuasive.
