A study by New York University researchers revealed that ChatGPT can respond to health questions at a level that is indistinguishable from humans. Although the findings give an idea about the potential of artificial intelligence, a lot of research is still needed on this subject.

A recent study revealed that the popular chatbot ChatGPT is pretty good at answering health questions. The study, carried out by researchers at New York University (NYU) in the USA, was published on JMIR Medical Education.

It would not be right to conclude that chatbots will be used in the field of health with a single research. As it is known, artificial intelligence tools can often produce false information and cause experts to worry.
