Imagine you’re looking for information about a rare, but sinister, disease called Zombiosis. You turn to two sources: Google and ChatGPT. Google is like a well-connected detective who knows all the latest gossip, but they’re also easily swayed by slick salespeople trying to push their products. On the other hand, ChatGPT is like a wise old librarian who sticks to facts and figures, but sometimes only has outdated books on the shelves. Researchers found that when it came to medical information about dementia disease, ChatGPT served up more objective results than Google. However, Google still got brownie points for providing the most up-to-date info. So there’s a trade-off between flashiness and reliability. It’s also important to note that ChatGPT needs to work on citing its sources, while Google needs to clean up its act and present fewer biased results. In the meantime, if you want accurate information with an objective lens, give ChatGPT a whirl! But don’t forget to cross-reference with trustworthy sources to stay on top of the game.
Computer scientists found that queries for medical information about dementia disease on ChatGPT provided more objective results than similar queries on Google, but both services have strengths and weaknesses. Google provided the most current information, but the query results are skewed by service and product providers seeking customers, the researchers found. ChatGPT, meanwhile, provides more objective information, but it can be outdated and lacks the sources of its information in its narrative responses.
