ChatGPT Passes US Medical Licensing Exams Without Cramming – Unlike Students
"Naturally, we wondered how ChatGPT might augment patient care," Tseng, Ansible's vice president and medical director, told Medscape. A group of volunteers at the company decided to test its capabilities by asking it multiple choice questions from the US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), given that so many of them had taken the medical licensing exam.
"The results were so shocking to us that we sprinted to turn it into a publication," said Tseng. The results were published as a preprint on medRxiv. They were so impressed that they allowed ChatGPT to collaborate as a contributing author.
ChatGPT wrote the abstract and results sections "with minimal prompting and largely cosmetic adjustments from the human co-authors," said Tseng. The bot also contributed large sections to the introduction and methods sections. The authors "frequently asked it to synthesize, simplify, and offer counterpoints to drafts in progress," Tseng said. He likened it to how co-authors might interact over email. They decided they would not credit ChatGPT as an author, however.
