Can an artificial intelligence chatbot help doctors better diagnose their patients?
Not really, according to new research.
The study, published last month in the journal JAMA Network Open, found that using ChatGPT, a chatbot created by OpenAI, did not significantly improve doctors’ diagnostic reasoning compared with doctors who used only traditional resources. The study also found that ChatGPT on its own performed better than either group of physicians.
The doctors that could use the software got a median score of 76 percent on making a diagnosis and explaining a reason for it, while the group that used only conventional resources had a median score of 74 percent. Run on its own, the software had a median score of roughly 90 percent.
