Can medical students use artificial intelligence to learn transfusion? Evaluating <scp>ChatGPT</scp> responses to the American Society of Hematology medical student transfusion learning objectives
As a resource for medical students learning transfusion medicine, ChatGPT has significant limitations. A considerable proportion of its answers to transfusion questions are unreliable, inaccurate and even unsafe. These incorrect answers are presented with the same authoritative tone as its correct answers, and an inexperienced learner would be challenged to differentiate between true and untrue responses. At the present time, it is not recommended for medical students to use ChatGPT to learn transfusion medicine.
