Abstract

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy and readability of Google, ChatGPT-3.5, and 4.0 (two versions of an artificial intelligence model) responses to common questions regarding bunion surgery.

Methods: A Google search of "bunionectomy" was performed, and the first ten questions under "People Also Ask" were recorded. ChatGPT-3.5 and 4.0 were asked these ten questions individually, and their answers were analyzed using the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease and Gunning-Fog Level algorithms.

Results: When compared to Google, ChatGPT-3.5 and 4.0 had a larger word count with 315 ± 39 words (p < .0001) and 294 ± 39 words (p < .0001), respectively. A significant difference was found between ChatGPT-3.5 and 4.0 compared to Google using Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease (p < .0001).

Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that ChatGPT provided significantly lengthier responses than Google and there was a significant difference in reading ease. Both platforms exceeded the seventh to eighth-grade reading level of the U.S.

Population:

Level of evidence: N/A.

大型语言模型是解决患者常见的足外翻问题的有用资源吗？可读性分析。

背景：本研究评估了谷歌、ChatGPT-3.5 和 4.0（人工智能模型的两个版本）对拇外翻手术常见问题回答的准确性和可读性：方法：在谷歌上搜索 "拇外翻切除术"，记录 "人们也会问 "下的前十个问题。分别向 ChatGPT-3.5 和 4.0 提出了这十个问题，并使用 Flesch-Kincaid 阅读轻松度和 Gunning-Fog Level 算法分析了它们的答案：结果：与谷歌相比，ChatGPT-3.5 和 4.0 的字数较多，分别为 315 ± 39 个字（p 结论：ChatGPT-3.5 和 4.0 的字数较多，分别为 315 ± 39 个字（p）：我们的研究结果表明，ChatGPT 提供的回答明显比 Google 长，而且在阅读难易程度上也有显著差异。两个平台都超过了美国人口七至八年级的阅读水平：证据等级：不适用。
