    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) is a publicly available extensive artificial intelligence (AI) language model that leverages deep learning to generate text that mimics human conversations. In this study, the performance of ChatGPT was assessed by offering insightful and precise answers to a series of fictional questions and emulating a preliminary consultation on blepharoplasty. METHODS: ChatGPT was posed with questions derived from a blepharoplasty checklist provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Board-certified plastic surgeons and non-medical staff members evaluated the responses for accuracy, informativeness, and accessibility. RESULTS: Nine questions were used in this study. Regarding informativeness, the average score given by board-certified plastic surgeons was significantly lower than that given by non-medical staff members (2.89 ±  0.72 vs 4.41 ± 0.71; p = 0.042). No statistically significant differences were observed in accuracy (p = 0.56) or accessibility (p = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS: Our results emphasize the effectiveness of ChatGPT in simulating doctor-patient conversations during blepharoplasty. Non-medical individuals found its responses more informative compared with the surgeons. Although limited in terms of specialized guidance, ChatGPT offers foundational surgical information. Further exploration is warranted to elucidate the broader role of AI in esthetic surgical consultations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: Observational study under respected authorities.
