Comparing Accuracy and Completeness of Google Search Versus ChatGPT-4 Responses to Questions Patients Have Regarding Common Craniofacial Conditions
ChatGPT provides more accurate and comprehensive information than Google for common patient questions about craniosynostosis without sacrificing readability. Patients can use this information to inform their future searches in order to obtain the most accurate information about their diagnoses. Further studies evaluating the information learned by patients from both search engines can help clinicians guide patients toward resources that best fit their individual care.
