Abstract

Since the introduction of ChatGPT by OpenAI in late 2022, the question of whether doctors can employ it for consultation has been a subject of debate. ChatGPT is a deep learning model trained on a vast dataset, but concerns about the reliability of its output have been a subject of debate in recent times. In this article, we have employed cutting-edge bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) sentiment analysis and topic modeling techniques to comprehend doctors' attitudes toward using ChatGPT in consultation.
