With the introduction of online AI bots such as ChatGPT, there has been ongoing debate regarding their reliability and the consistency of information provided to the general public—especially when used for medical guidance. In the study by Elise M. Cai et al., researchers investigated the use of ChatGPT in a dermatology context. The study involved ChatGPT-4 and three board-certified dermatologists who created 25 core questions related to skin cancer recommendations and 15 additional questions incorporating geographic and racial factors. The results showed that 24 out of 25 responses were graded as clinically appropriate and consistent. However, in the subset analysis involving variations in geography and race, only 9 out of 16 responses were graded consistent, and 14 out of 16 were considered clinically appropriate. The researchers noted that ChatGPT tended to “hallucinate” when presented with race- or geography-specific prompts, often referencing mass media rather than evidence-based medical sources. The authors concluded that while ChatGPT can provide clinically appropriate responses to general dermatological questions, its consistency decreases when race or geographic specificity is introduced—limiting its utility for region- or population-specific medical recommendations.
