Abstract

With the advent of artificial intelligence that not only can learn from us but also can communicate with us in plain language, humans are embarking on a brave new future. The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence has never been so widespread. Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer is an artificial intelligence resource that has potential uses in the practice of medicine. As clinicians, we have the opportunity to help guide and develop new ways to use this powerful tool. Optimal use of any tool requires a certain level of comfort. This is best achieved by appreciating its power and limitations. Being part of the process is crucial in maximizing its use in our field. This clinical opinion demonstrates the potential uses of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer for obstetrician-gynecologists and encourages readers to serve as the driving force behind this resource.

Keywords: Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer; OpenAI; artificial intelligence; future of medicine; large language models; plain conversational language interfaces.
