Evaluating Artificial Intelligence Responses to Questions About Febrile Seizures from a Family Perspective

Öz

Objective: Febrile seizures constitute the most frequently encountered seizure type in childhood, often leading families to seek information and clarification. Materials and Methods: This study focuses on analyzing the content generated by the ChatGPT platform (https://chat.openai.com/) in response to queries related to febrile seizures. Results: ChatGPT’s answers to the questions about patient information were generally found to be satisfactory. Some questions received lower scores from the participatingphysicians due to confusing expressions or brevity of the answers.However, overall, it was deemed sufficient for patient information. Conclusion: Providing accurate information to patients through artificial intelligence (AI) in common diseases may be beneficial for both patients and physicians. Although its reliability is currently subject to debate, it can improve over time.
