ChatGPT overprescribed emergency treatment: UCSF study
ChatGPT is more likely to overprescribe medications and imaging and is less effective than a resident in emergency department care, a University of California San Francisco study found. The study, published Oct. 8 in Nature Communications, compiled a set of 1,000 of UCSF Health’s ED visits with the same ratio of “yes” to “no” responses for decision on admission, radiology, and antibiotics. Researchers entered the physician’s notes on each patient’s symptoms and examination findings into ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4.

The study concluded that ChatGPT may overprescribe treatment compared to human clinicians in an emergency care setting. For further details, you can read the full study here.
