Abstract

Although ChatGPT performed well in providing answers to laypersons, the answers that it provided to specialists were less accurate and superficial. Although AI has the potential to provide useful information to the public, it should not replace medical guidance. Critical analysis of AI-generated information remains essential for health care professionals and laypersons alike, especially for complex conditions such as asthma.
