Overall, the readability was low for both ChatGPT and UCF material. By prompting ChatGPT to “Explain it to me like I am a sixth grader,” the readability did improve, but most patients will not have the insight to do so. The accuracy of ChatGPT was comparable to UCF in this study but has been inconsistent in other studies. A recent study showed 96.9% accuracy of cancer information on ChatGPT compared to the National Cancer Institute when addressing common cancer myths and misconceptions.2 However, ChatGPT scored poorly when compared to human reviewers using the DISCERN tool in identifying poor-quality information regarding shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction.3 Communication in health care is critical, and there is always room for improvement at all levels—provider-created materials, AI and ChatGPT, telehealth, and in-person visits. Certainly ChatGPT is not a substitute for the important patient-doctor discussions with mutually agreed upon shared medical decisions. And provider-created material will be more effective when more patients are able to read and understand. ChatGPT may be helpful to patients as one of many resources for medical information. As the clinical input improves in AI and ChatGPT, so too will the accuracy. References 1. Comparison of ChatGPT and traditional patient education materials for men’s health.
