Assessing information provided via artificial intelligence regarding distal biceps tendon repair surgery
The answers provided by ChatGPT were a 'good' source in terms of quality assessment, compared to other online resources that do not have citations as an option. The accuracy and reliability of these answers were shown to be low, with nearly a college-graduate level of readability. This indicates that physicians should caution patients when searching ChatGPT for information regarding distal biceps repairs. ChatGPT serves as a promising source for patients to learn about their procedure, although its reliability and readability are disadvantages for the average patient when utilizing the software.
