William M. Tian, Amanda R. Sergesketter, Scott T. Hollenbeck
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI), simply defined as intelligence demonstrated by machines, has rapidly captured the imaginations of many innovators including plastic surgeons.[1] In recent months, OpenAI's Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer (ChatGPT) has taken the center stage of both AI and mainstream discussion. ChatGPT, an example of generative AI, creates human-like text responses to virtually any prompt or follow-up question.[2] Unsurprisingly, this has been met with a great deal of both hype and controversy. Here, we present an analysis of the quality of ChatGPT-generated microsurgery content, as well as general applications and pitfalls of ChatGPT for microsurgeons.
