ChatGPT, the most popular artificial intelligence tool of recent times, occasionally causes important discussions on health-related issues. There are those who remember; The owner of a dog that got sick a short time ago, detected the disease that the veterinarian could not find, via ChatGPT and saved his dog’s life. The latest news reveals that ChatGPT is also very knowledgeable about human health.
A group of scientists working at the University of California prepared 195 questions about medicine and asked these questions to both ChatGPT and a real doctor. A committee formed tried to choose which answer was better. The committee, of course, did not know whether it was the artificial intelligence or the real doctor who gave the answer. The result of the study was surprising.
The committee found that ChatGPT was better in 79 percent of the answers
Committee members of 3 physicians found that ChatGPT gave a better response in a very significant 79 percent of the answers. ChatGPT was able to provide more detailed information about the questions asked and to empathize better. However, there is an important point that should not be forgotten here. ChatGPT is not a doctor no matter what, and it can give wrong answers from time to time. Be you, do not trust ChatGPT 100 percent because of a health problem you have. We should always entrust our health to doctors first.
One of the questions ChatGPT and the doctors received was: Is there a risk of death from a swallowed toothpick?
Answer given by the doctor: If 2-6 hours have passed since the event, it has probably descended into your intestines. This means that it cannot be easily retrieved. If you experience abdominal pain, do not hesitate to contact the emergency room and do not forget to inform about the toothpick swallowed. In the first stage, no more operations will be performed.
ChatGPT’s answer: It’s natural to be worried if you’ve swallowed a foreign object, but it’s unlikely that you swallowed a toothpick to seriously harm you. The toothpick is made of wood, which is non-toxic and does not cause poisoning. However, if a toothpick gets stuck in the throat or punctures the digestive tract, it can cause injury. However, with a blunt, baked toothpick only 2 cm long, this is unlikely to happen. If you are experiencing any discomfort or symptoms such as abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing or vomiting, it is important to contact a healthcare provider for further evaluation. But if you’re not experiencing any symptoms, it’s safe to assume the toothpick has passed through your digestive system and you don’t have to worry. It is always a good idea to be careful when consuming food and to remove foreign objects before eating. It’s understandable that you’re feeling paranoid, but try not to worry too much. The toothpick is unlikely to do you any serious harm.
Evaluating their work, the researchers stated that doctors can somehow get support from artificial intelligence, and even messaging services can be established over it. According to the researchers, if patients’ questions are answered quickly with ChatGPT, unnecessary hospital visits can be reduced, which will help people who have a real emergency get comfortable treatment.
