ChatGPT for healthcare providers and patients: Practical implications within dermatology
Open accessAbstract
The launch of ChatGPT-3 (OpenAI) has spurred discussion surrounding use of language learning models (LLMs) as potential clinical tools. ChatGPT is a free online chatbot that generates complex text responses to user-inputted queries using natural language-based artificial intelligence. Recent studies highlight ChatGPT's potential: one demonstrated that cardiologists graded ChatGPT responses to fundamental cardiovascular disease prevention questions as largely appropriate,1 while a second determined ChatGPT could pass the standardized United States Medical Licensing exam.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
