Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer), have gained prominence in various fields, including medical research and publishing. This comprehensive review article aims to explore the pros and cons associated with using ChatGPT in the medical domain. Through an in-depth analysis of relevant studies and publications, we highlight the potential benefits of ChatGPT, including improved efficiency, enhanced data analysis, and increased accessibility. However, we also address concerns regarding accuracy, ethical considerations, and the need for human oversight when incorporating ChatGPT into medical research and publishing workflows.
