Hypothesis
Does ChatGPT discriminate against older adults and provide non-age biased health information?
Conclusion
ChatGPT is less likely to produce age-biased outputs and can be trusted for non-age biased information on aging and geriatrics.
Supporting Evidence
- ChatGPT's total geriatrics attitude score was significantly lower than humans (2.68 vs 3.77).
- The mean positive geriatric attitude score from ChatGPT was 4.1.
- The mean negative geriatric score from ChatGPT was 1.8.
- About half of ChatGPT's outputs provided positive rationales for their responses.
Takeaway
This study looked at whether ChatGPT treats older people fairly. It found that ChatGPT is good at giving unbiased information about aging.
Methodology
ChatGPT's responses to geriatric attitude questions were assessed using a validated instrument.
