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.
Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer(ChatGPT)是由 OpenAI 开发的人工智能(AI)语言模型。它经过大量文本的训练,可以与用户进行类似人类的对话交互。由于它对所有人开放,因此被广泛使用,其功能包括语言翻译、长篇文本总结和创意写作。本文通过与 ChatGPT 本身的文本提示进行对话,探讨了 ChatGPT 在医学教育中的潜在作用,以及对滥用该技术的可能担忧。ChatGPT 表示,这项技术在医学教育中的应用既有趣又有帮助,无论是对学生还是导师而言。然而,考虑到学生诚信受损的风险和过度依赖的问题,这可能是一把双刃剑。这也需要制定相应的对策和政策来降低这些风险。
