Dear Editor:

We would like to discuss “Using a customized GPT to provide guideline-based recommendations for management of pancreatic cystic lesions [1].” In this study, a custom GPT was developed to provide guideline-based management advice for pancreatic cysts, and its accuracy was compared with that of gastroenterology experts. The results showed that the custom GPT aligned with expert recommendations in 87% of scenarios, indicating its potential to provide accurate guideline-based recommendations. However, there were some weaknesses in the methodology, such as the small sample size of clinical scenarios evaluated (60) and the lack of diverse expertise among the gastroenterology experts.

Future research should focus on expanding the sample size of clinical scenarios to further validate the accuracy of the custom GPT compared with expert opinions. In addition, the study could have benefitted from including a larger and more diverse group of experts to increase the generalizability of the findings. Furthermore, more in-depth analysis could be conducted to identify specific factors that contribute to discrepancies between the custom GPT and expert recommendations.

One area that is often overlooked in the literature is the potential ethical implications of relying on AI technologies like GPTs in clinical decision-making. Further research should consider ethical considerations associated with using AI in healthcare, such as issues related to data privacy, accountability, and bias in decision-making algorithms. In addition, studies could explore ways to integrate GPTs into clinical practice effectively, such as developing protocols for interpreting and incorporating AI-generated recommendations into patient care plans.

All things considered, this study offers insightful information about how personalized GPTs could improve clinical judgment while managing pancreatic cysts. To solve methodological issues, look at ethical issues, and explore the real-world effects of deploying AI technologies in healthcare settings, more research is necessary. Last but not least, each ChatGPT user must adhere to the code of conduct and take responsibility for the results of using ChatGPT [2].
