Assessing the Quality and Reliability of ChatGPT’s Responses to Radiotherapy-Related Patient Queries: Comparative Study With GPT-3.5 and GPT-4
Both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 demonstrated having the capability to address radiotherapy concepts, with GPT-4 showing superior performance. However, both models present readability challenges for the general population. Although ChatGPT demonstrates potential as a valuable resource for addressing common patient queries related to radiotherapy, it is imperative to acknowledge its limitations, including the risks of misinformation and readability issues. In addition, its implementation should be supported by strategies to enhance accessibility and readability.
