Public skepticism of AI-generated medical advice
One previous study revealed that πΈclinicians assessed responses to medical queries generated by LLMs and considered these answers to be of πΈhigh quality.
In fact, the responses generated by AI-based LLMs were considered to be πΈmore empathic than answers provided by human physicians.
Importantly, none of the clinicians in this study were aware of the authorship of the responses they evaluated.
The current study used two experiments to explore β¦οΈhow the public reacts to LLM-generated medical advice in a controlled experimental setting
The study findings indicate that the β¦οΈgeneral public perceives physicians as the most authentic source of medical information compared to AI-based tools. '
Human physicianβs advice was perceived as significantly more #empathic than advice provided by βAIβ and βhuman physician + AI.β
Similarly, βhumanβ advice was rated as significantly more #reliable than βAIβ and βhuman physician + AIβ advice
