The Economist. Hello, I'm Dr. Smith.
How are you today?
Can you please tell me your name, age, and what brings you in for this consultation?
My name is Jason.
I'm 31 years old, and I guess I've just been having some difficulty sleeping.
Jason Gustaf is a doctor at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
I'm sorry to hear that, Jason.
When did you first notice the trouble sleeping?
Jason is taking on the role of a patient and talking to a healthcare-focused chatbot,
which runs on OpenAI's ChatGPT.
This is a model that we've created.
Basically, we create a prompt to ask ChatGPT 4.0 to pretend to be a telehealth physician.
And we've created some clinical vignettes that we think are not extremely simple,
but... are not extremely complicated.
They have some important nuances that we want to see if the large language model can pick up.
Have you noticed any recent changes in your life or routine that might be contributing to this?
Well, work has been really difficult recently.
You know,
I guess about the same time I haven't been working out as much or hanging out with my friends as much.
And about six months ago, my dad passed away.
