Crazy interesting paper in many ways:
1) Voice-enabled GPT-4o conducted 2 hour
interviews of 1,052 people
2) GPT-4o agents were given the transcripts & prompted to simulate the people
3) The agents were given surveys & tasks. They achieved 85% accuracy in simulating interviewees pic.twitter.com/yqS9K4XW6l

ChatGPT undeniably beats an expert panel of doctors at empathy, usefulness, correctness with less potential harm.

The only prompt needed was “Please write the response as if you were a physician”

There is a lot of energy going into fine-tuning models, but specialized medical AI models lost to their general versions 38% of the time, only won 12%.

Before spending millions on specialized training, might be worth exploring what base models can do with well-designed prompts. pic.twitter.com/6FjpfBfahf
