GPT-4 Shows Promise in Simulating Physician Reasoning for Medical Diagnoses
-
Researchers tested whether large language models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 could simulate diagnostic clinical reasoning when given specialized prompts.
-
They found GPT-4 could mimic clinician reasoning without compromising diagnostic accuracy, bringing LLMs closer to safe medical use.
-
GPT-4 performed better overall than GPT-3.5 in accurately answering clinical questions.
-
Certain specialized reasoning prompts worked better than others for GPT models to provide accurate diagnoses.
-
More reasoning-focused prompts performed better than those combining multiple strategies.
