ChatGPT: Friend or foe of patients with sleep-related breathing disorders?

Abstract

ChatGPT has played a prominent role in the media narrative on artificial intelligence over the past year. However, the potential applications of this popular chatbot have also been studied from a medical-health perspective. There are more than 600 papers published on this topic in 2023. The undisputed qualities of this form of AI, which is one of the deep-learning machines, are due to its ability to simulate conversation that is almost indistinguishable from that with another human being. We know how important communication is in medicine. That is why the many studies presented investigate ChatGPT's ability to answer public health questions or assist patients with certain diseases. We can say that communication is a therapeutic intervention, but can AI do it better than doctors?
