Evaluating GPT-4o in infectious disease diagnostics and management: A comparative study with residents and specialists on accuracy, completeness, and clinical support potential
GPT-4o shows promise as a tool for providing comprehensive responses in infectious disease management, although specialists still outperform it in accuracy. Continuous human oversight is recommended to mitigate potential inaccuracies in clinical decision-making. These findings suggest that while GPT-4o may be considered a valuable supplementary tool for medical advice, it should not replace expert consultation in complex clinical decision-making.
