A new study is praising an online 'Artificial Intelligence' doctor....for having better bedside manners than a traditional GP.
Chat-GPT.... is a text generator 'AI' service developed in Sillicon Valley.
It's found to be more empathetic than most GPs - and gives better advice.
Researchers at the University of California say the 'ChatGP' gives less curt and clinical answers, while remembering to add words of comfort.
According to US news after comparing doctor and AI responses to nearly 200 medical questions, a team of health care professionals concluded that nearly 80% of the answers from ChatGPT were more nuanced, accurate and detailed than those shared by physicians.
ChatGPT fared well on bedside manner as well. While less than 5% of doctor responses were judged to be “empathetic” or “very empathetic,” that figure shot up to 45% for answers provided by AI.
