There’s concern about the way people are using ChatGPT to source information surrounding medication.

Pharmacists at Long Island University posed 39 drug-related questions to OpenAI’s free chatbot — with only 10 of the responses deemed “satisfactory”.

This means ChatGPT flubbed 75% of questions about prescription drug usage.

For the other 29 questions, the responses either did not directly address the question, were inaccurate or incomplete.

The researchers asked ChatGPT to provide references with each of its responses for verification purposes.

But only eight of 39 replies included references.

OPenAI does warn users that its technology isn’t fine-tuned enough to give accurate medical advice.
