Abstract:
Chat GPT is a modern artificial intelligence program: its recent introduction has created controversy in the academic world. This commentary discusses the utility of Chat GPT to explore healthcare issues such as chronic pain and associated conditions. To illustrate the potential application of brain fog, this commentary presents an example of Chat GPT using brain fog. Brain fog is a phenomenon which has been increasingly discussed in both academic and social media discourses. Further, the potential advantages and dangers of Chat GPT are described. Noted advantages include search facilitation, drafting patient information, identifying opportunities for future research, and highlighting areas with a lack of consensus. Dangers of Chat GPT include the possibility for misinformation and the reproduction of social stereotypes and assumptions. Lastly, this commentary concludes with recommendations for healthcare professionals considering use of Chat GPT. Artificial intelligence-driven technologies like Chat GPT become increasingly available and trusted in our society, so does the importance of our awareness for both benefit and potential for harm when artificial intelligence is used for non-critical information seeking and self-education.
