AI, or artificial intelligence, is the ability of machines or software to mimic human intelligence, such as recognizing images, understanding speech, making decisions, and learning from data. AI is not new, but it has become more powerful and popular recently, thanks to the progress in computing, data, and algorithms. One example of AI is chatbots, which are programs that can converse with humans using natural language. Some chatbots, like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, can even answer complex questions based on simple queries. These chatbots could potentially provide fast and accurate medical diagnoses from home. A study by the Jeroen Bosch Hospital in The Netherlands showed that ChatGPT 3.5, a free version of ChatGPT, could correctly diagnose 87% of patients. ChatGPT 4.0, which Microsoft offers for free through Copilot, could diagnose 97% of patients correctly. These numbers are impressive, as ChatGPT was released less than a year ago, and it has already reached a level of reliability that people can trust. Moreover, since both versions of ChatGPT are free to the public, they could reduce the medical costs of visiting a doctor.
However, there is still room to grow in this space as while the 97% correctness rating is very impressive the last 3% that the chatbot missed could lead to major misdiagnosis which then could provide unnecessary panic.
In conclusion, with the recent advancements in ChatGPT and Microsoft Copoilt the days of going to the doctor's office only to be diagnosed with a cold may be long passed us.
