Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder has seen a drastic increase in prevalence over the past two decades, along with discourse rife with debates and misinformation. This discourse has primarily taken place online, the main source of information for parents seeking information about autism. One potential tool for navigating information is ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence question and answer-style communication program. Although ChatGPT shows great promise, no empirical work has evaluated its viability as a tool for providing information about autism to caregivers. The current study evaluated answers provided by ChatGPT, including basic information about autism, myths/misconceptions, and resources. Our results suggested that ChatGPT was largely correct, concise, and clear, but did not provide much actionable advice, which was further limited by inaccurate references and hyperlinks. The authors conclude that ChatGPT-4 is a viable tool for parents seeking accurate information about autism, with opportunities for improvement in actionability and reference accuracy.

ChatGPT：人工智能作为家长寻求自闭症信息的潜在工具。

自闭症谱系障碍的发病率在过去二十年中急剧上升，同时也充斥着各种争论和错误信息。这种讨论主要发生在网上，是家长们寻求自闭症相关信息的主要来源。人工智能问答式交流程序 ChatGPT-4 是一种潜在的信息导航工具。虽然 ChatGPT 显示出了巨大的前景，但还没有任何实证研究对其作为向照顾者提供自闭症信息的工具的可行性进行评估。本研究对 ChatGPT 提供的答案进行了评估，包括自闭症的基本信息、迷思/误解和资源。我们的结果表明，ChatGPT 基本上是正确、简洁和清晰的，但并没有提供太多可操作的建议，而不准确的参考文献和超链接又进一步限制了它的作用。作者总结道，ChatGPT-4 是家长们寻求自闭症准确信息的可行工具，但在可操作性和参考文献的准确性方面仍有改进的余地。
