Beyond ChatGPT: It Is Time to Focus More on Specialized Medical LLMs.

While ChatGPT has gained popularity in various domains, it may not be the ideal focus for medical professionals due to its reliance on language pattern prediction rather than direct fact retrieval, potentially leading to inaccurate outputs. We emphasize the limitations of ChatGPT's training data, which mainly come from non-specialized sources and may result in misleading answers in highly specialized medical domains. We advocate for a shift towards specialized medical large language models (LLMs) that are trained using authoritative medical databases, supplemented by human validation, to ensure accuracy and completeness of data. We believe that specialized medical LLMs can provide more precise and contextually relevant medical advice, ultimately enhancing patient care and medical education quality, and enabling AI to realize its full potential in the medical field.
