In this article, we introduce GPT Paulo Freire, a simulation of Paulo Freire enabled by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). For its creation, we utilized the GPTs service, which allows assigning a specific role to ChatGPT and creating a knowledge base to support the generation of its responses. We compare this chatbot to the one from the "Be Right Back" episode of the Black Mirror series, reflecting on the social and emotional implications of interactions with simulations of deceased individuals based on their digital footprints. We discuss the educational potential, limitations and challenges of this technology, based on the analysis of reactions and statements from students and teacher-researchers during their initial conversations with this simulation of the patron of Brazilian education. We emphasize the need for a critical, reflective, and creative use of this GenAI in education, highlighting the importance of a pedagogical approach aligned with Freirean principles that promotes dialogue, co-creation, curiosity, imagination, the ability to conjecture, compare, question generated responses, and seek reliable sources, aiming to develop critical thinking and awareness among learners.
