Abstract

BACKGROUND: ChatGPT-3.5 scored in the 52nd percentile of the Plastic Surgery In-service Examination, making its knowledge equivalent to a first-year integrated resident. The updated GPT-4 may have improved performance given its more expansive training set. We hypothesized that GPT-4 would outperform its predecessor, making it a more valuable potential asset to surgical education.
