Abstract

BACKGROUND: Several studies have investigated how large language models answer health-related questions. In a study from 2023, responses to health-related questions in English generated by the language model GPT-3.5 were perceived as more empathetic and informative than responses from doctors. We wanted to apply the newer language model GPT-4 in Norwegian to investigate how respondents with a healthcare background rated responses to health-related questions from doctors and those generated by the language model.
