ChatGPT performs well on radiation oncology patient care questions
ChatGPT may be a valuable resource for radiation oncology patients, with responses to questions over care posing minimal risk of harm due to inaccuracies or biases, according to a study published April 2 in JAMA Network Open. Clinicians at Northwestern University in Chicago tested ChatGPT 3.5 on common care questions and found the chatbot generated responses comparable with those provided by human experts, albeit at a higher-than-recommended readability level, noted lead author Amulya Yalamanchili, MD, and colleagues. “Accordingly, these results suggest that the LLM has the potential to be used as an alternative to cur...
