Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Over 61% of Americans seek health information online, often using artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT. However, concerns persist about the readability and accessibility of AI-generated content, especially for individuals with varying health literacy levels. This study compares the readability and accuracy of ChatGPT responses on meniscus injuries with those from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' OrthoInfo website, which is tailored for patient education. We hypothesize that while ChatGPT offers accurate information, its readability will be lower than that of OrthoInfo.
