Abstract

Popular artificial intelligence systems, like ChatGPT, may be used by anyone to generate humanlike answers to questions. This study assessed whether ChatGPT version 3.5 (ChatGPTv3.5) or the first five results from a Google search provide more accurate, complete, and concise answers to the most common questions patients have about carpal tunnel syndrome. Three orthopedic hand surgeons blindly graded the answers using Likert scales to assess accuracy, completeness, and conciseness. ChatGPTv3.5 and the first five Google results provide answers to carpal tunnel syndrome questions that are similar in accuracy and completeness, but ChatGPTv3.5 answers are more concise. ChatGPTv3.5, being freely accessible to the public, is therefore a good resource for patients seeking concise, Google-equivalent answers to specific medical questions regarding carpal tunnel syndrome. ChatGPTv3.5, given its lack of updated sourcing and risk of presenting false information, should not replace frequently updated academic websites as the primary online medical resource for patients.

ChatGPT: 为寻求准确、全面的腕管综合征信息的人提供简明的 Google 替代方案。

任何人都可以使用流行的人工智能系统（如 ChatGPT）来生成类似于人类的问题答案。本研究评估了 ChatGPT 3.5 版（ChatGPTv3.5）或谷歌搜索的前五个结果是否能更准确、更完整、更简洁地回答患者关于腕管综合征的最常见问题。三位手部整形外科医生使用李克特量表对答案进行了盲评，以评估其准确性、完整性和简洁性。ChatGPTv3.5 和谷歌搜索结果的前五位提供的腕管综合征问题答案在准确性和完整性方面相似，但 ChatGPTv3.5 的答案更为简洁。因此，ChatGPTv3.5 对公众免费开放，是患者就有关腕管综合征的具体医疗问题寻求简明、与谷歌相当的答案的良好资源。鉴于 ChatGPTv3.5 缺乏最新的信息来源，存在提供虚假信息的风险，因此不应取代经常更新的学术网站，作为患者的主要在线医疗资源。
