ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Patients struggle to classify symptoms, which hinders timely medical presentation. With 35-75% of patients seeking information online before consulting a health care professional, generative language-based artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified by ChatGPT-3.5 (GPT-3.5) from OpenAI, has emerged as an important source.
