Human authors and a chatbot improved documents from a 9th-grade to 6th-grade reading level on most measures. Preoperative instructions showed less improvement by a chatbot. Inconsistencies occurred at rates of 1.1 and 0.6 per document for human authors and a chatbot, respectively. At least 1 inconsistency was found in 20 of 43 human-simplified (47%) and 11 of 43 chatbot-simplified (26%) instructions, with the higher rate of inconsistencies from humans associated with nonclinically significant omissions. Similar rates of critical inconsistencies were observed between human authors and a chatbot.
Publisher's note: AI was effective in this study. If AI can simplify surgical instructions, how would it do with hospice admission and other instructions?
