'That is exactly how we treated the patient': ChatGPT update's medical expertise surprises physicians

A ChatGPT update released March 14 has been stunning physicians with its ability to deliver sound medical advice, The New York Times reported.

Anil Gehi, MD, a cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at Chapel Hill, N.C.-based UNC Health, described the health history of a patient, using advanced medical terminology, to the artificial intelligence chatbot and asked it how he should treat the person, according to the March 14 story.

"That is exactly how we treated the patient," he said of ChatGPT's answer.

Experts told the newspaper the new GPT-4 technology is more precise, accurate and descriptive than its predecessor, which OpenAI released in November. However, the chatbot is still prone to "hallucination" and making things up.
