Abstract

ChatGPT is a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. ChatGPT has become increasingly popular, and the general public may use this tool to ask questions about different medical conditions. There is a lack of data to demonstrate ChatGPT is able to provide reliable information on medical conditions. The aim of our study is to assess the accuracy and appropriateness of ChatGPT answers to questions on ventral hernia management.
