Using a list of common cancer myths and misconceptions, the team of doctors found that 97% of ChatGPT’s answers were correct. However, there are important caveats. For example, some ChatGPT responses may be misinterpreted, causing patients to make poor decisions.
The team advises caution when advising patients whether or not to use chatbots for cancer information.
Next steps are to assess how often patients use chatbots to search for information about cancer, what questions they ask, and whether such chatbots provide accurate answers to non-standard or unconventional questions about cancer.
News cannot be equated with a doctor’s prescription. Consult an expert before making a decision.
