Study Finds Free ChatGPT's Drug Answers Inaccurate

A study conducted by pharmacists at Long Island University suggests that the free version of OpenAI's ChatGPT, a popular chatbot, may provide inaccurate or incomplete responses to drug-related questions, potentially endangering patients. Out of 39 questions posed to ChatGPT, only 10 responses were deemed satisfactory, with the remaining responses being inaccurate, incomplete, or not directly addressing the question. The study highlights the importance of verifying information from ChatGPT with trusted sources and raises concerns about relying on the chatbot for drug information. The study also notes that the free version of ChatGPT may lack significant information due to its limited data sets.
