The role of an open artificial intelligence platform in modern neurosurgical education: a preliminary study

The use of artificial intelligence in neurosurgical education has been growing in recent times. ChatGPT, a free and easily accessible language model, has been gaining popularity as an alternative education method. It is necessary to explore the potential of this program in neurosurgery education and to evaluate its reliability. This study aimed to show the reliability of ChatGPT by asking various questions to the chat engine, how it can contribute to neurosurgery education by preparing case reports or questions, and its contributions when writing academic articles. The results of the study showed that while ChatGPT provided intriguing and interesting responses, it should not be considered a dependable source of information. The absence of citations for scientific queries raises doubts about the credibility of the answers provided. Therefore, it is not advisable to solely rely on ChatGPT as an educational resource. With further updates and more specific prompts, it may be possible to improve its accuracy. In conclusion, while ChatGPT has potential as an educational tool, its reliability needs to be further evaluated and improved before it can be widely adopted in neurosurgical education.
