Empowering patients: how accurate and readable are large language models in renal cancer education

Although the PEM published by AUA being the most readable, both authoritative PEMs and Large Language Models (LLMs) generated outputs exceeded the recommended readability threshold for general population. AI Chatbots can simplify their outputs when explicitly instructed. However, notwithstanding their accuracy, LLMs-generated outputs are susceptible to detail omission and inaccuracies. The variability in AI performance necessitates cautious use as an adjunctive tool in patient education.
