Abstract
This article provides a critical analysis of the application of the advanced language model, GPT-4, in generating surgical operative notes, with a focus on its use in ophthalmology as presented by Waisberg et al. The discussion underscores the inherent complexity and specificity of operative notes, the issue of accountability, and the potential data protection issues associated with the use of AI in healthcare. The letter emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in applying AI in healthcare and calls for a more nuanced and responsible approach to the integration of AI in surgical documentation.
