ChatGPT From the Perspective of an Academic Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist
Sonam Khurana, Anusha Vaddi
Abstract
Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an open artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot with various clinical and academic dentistry applications, including oral and maxillofacial radiology (OMFR). The applications can be extended to generating documents such as oral radiology reports if appropriate prompts are given. There are various challenges associated with this task. Like other fields, ChatGPT can be incorporated to generate content and answer oral radiology-related multiple-choice questions. However, its performance is limited to answering image-based questions. ChatGPT can help in scientific writing but can not be designated as an author due to the lack of validity of the content. This editorial outlines the potential applications and limitations of the current version of ChatGPT in OMFR academic settings.
