Evaluation of validity, reliability, and readability of AI chatbots for gestational diabetes mellitus: a multi-model comparative study

Contemporary AI chatbots can generate generally accurate and moderately reliable GDM-related information, with newer model generations showing clear gains in diagnostic validity. However, limited transparency and systematically high reading levels indicate that these tools are not yet suitable as stand-alone resources for GDM patient education and should be used as adjuncts to clinician counseling and professionally curated materials.

Abstract

Contemporary AI chatbots can generate generally accurate and moderately reliable GDM-related information, with newer model generations showing clear gains in diagnostic validity. However, limited transparency and systematically high reading levels indicate that these tools are not yet suitable as stand-alone resources for GDM patient education and should be used as adjuncts to clinician counseling and professionally curated materials.
