At present ChatGPT cannot be relied upon to address patient questions; in the future, ChatGPT will improve. Today, AI requires physician expertise to interpret AI answers for patients.
When screening full-text literature using highly reliable prompts, GPT-4's performance was more robust, reaching “human-like” levels.
