In a study from 2023, responses to health-related questions in English generated by the language model GPT-3.5 were perceived as more empathetic and informative than responses from doctors. We wanted to apply the newer language model GPT-4 in Norwegian to investigate how respondents with a healthcare background rated responses to health-related questions from doctors and those generated by the language model.</p><p><strong>Material and method: </strong>A total of 192 health-related questions with corresponding answers from doctors were sourced from the website Studenterspør.no. The language model GPT-4 was used to generate a new set of answers to the same questions. Both sets of answers were evaluated by 344 respondents with a background in health care. The respondents, who were blinded to whether the answer was generated by a doctor or the language model, were asked to rate the empathy, quality of information and helpfulness of the answers.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The survey consisted of 344 respondents and 192 questions. The average number of evaluations per answer was 5.7. There was a significant difference between doctors' answers and those generated by GPT-4 in terms of perceived empathy (p < 0.001), quality of information (p < 0.001) and helpfulness (p < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Interpretation: </strong>The answers generated by GPT-4 were rated as more empathetic, informative and helpful than the answers from doctors.
