However, its performance on <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection-related questions remain unknown.

Each question was tested three times with ChatGPT3.5 and ChatGPT4. Two independent <i>H. pylori</i> experts assessed the responses from ChatGPT, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. Simultaneously, a nationwide survey with the same questions was conducted among 1279 gastroenterologists and 154 medical students.
