Evaluating GPT-4 Responses on Scars or Keloids for Patient Education: Large Language Model Evaluation Study

GPT-4 has serious potential as a patient education tool for scars and keloids, offering reliable and accurate information. However, improvements in readability (to align with sixth to eighth grade standards) and reduction of reference hallucinations are essential to enhance accessibility and trustworthiness. Future large language model optimizations should prioritize simplifying medical language and strengthening reference validation mechanisms to maximize clinical utility.
