Comparison of Ophthalmologist and Large Language Model Chatbot Responses to Online Patient Eye Care Questions.

Journal: JAMA network open
Published Date: Aug 1, 2023

Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT appear capable of performing a variety of tasks, including answering patient eye care questions, but have not yet been evaluated in direct comparison with ophthalmologists. It remains unclear whether LLM-generated advice is accurate, appropriate, and safe for eye patients.
