A Tête-à-tête with ChatGPT on the impact of artificial intelligence in medical education

Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by OpenAI. It is trained to process vast amounts of text and engage in human-like conversational interaction with users. Being accessible by all, it is widely used and its capabilities range from language translation, summarising long texts and creative writing. This article explores the potential role of ChatGPT in medical education and the possible concerns about the misuse of this technology through a conversation with ChatGPT itself via text prompts. The implications of this technology in medical education as told by ChatGPT are interesting and seemingly helpful for both the students and the tutors. However, this could be a double-edged sword considering the risks of compromised students' integrity and concerns of over-reliance. This also calls for counter strategies and policies in place to mitigate these risks.
