Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Health Care

Remember, you'll always need to verify the information, because ChatGPT will sometimes make things up (known as "hallucination.")

What is it good for?

• Brainstorming ideas
• Narrowing your topic ideas for a research paper, and keywords for searching in library databases..
• Summarizing and outlining
• Constructing a PICOT question and search strategy in different databases
• Translating text to different languages (not completely fluent in every language)

What is it not so good for?

• Protecting privacy and security, legal and liability issues
• Data transparency (unbiased results)
• Library research (not yet). For now, it's best to use the Library One Search and databases, or Google Scholar. This may change in the future with more specialized search tools based on Large Language Models (LLMs).  
• Asking for any information that would have dire consequences if it was incorrect (such as health, financial, legal advice, and so on). This is because of its tendency to sometimes make up answers, but still sound very confident.
• ChatGPT was not designed to help with diagnosis, treatment, and other medical applications. Although some types of AI may be trained to analyze X-Rays or perform other diagnostic tasks, ChatGPT was specifically designed to make up content to mimic human communication.

1. Sometimes ChatGPT gets confused if you change topics in the middle of a conversation. When you want to change the subject, start a new chat.
2. It will remember what you have said in the course of a conversation, so you don't have to repeat everything again.
3. Don't ask ChatGPT (free version) for a list of sources. It will make them up. Instead, use library search tools, library databases, One Search, or Google Scholar.
4. Choose an output format. In addition to paragraphs, it can give you a table, a bulleted list, multiple choice quiz questions, emojis, computer code, and more.
5. In ChatGPT you can see a history of your conversations and in the settings, you can delete your history and turn off the saving of future history. You can also export your history and save it on your own computer.
6. Remember, don't enter any personal, private data in ChatGPT, because OpenAI may use your input to help improve the model. The free version is a research experiment.  If you don't want your data used to help improve ChatGPT, you can turn it off in the settings (which means it also won't save your previous chats for your own viewing).
