30. This research paper explores the impact of the GPT-4 large language model (LLM) on physicians' diagnostic reasoning, comparing its performance to conventional resources. The researchers conducted a randomized clinical vignette study involving physicians across various medical specialties. They found that while GPT-4 alone significantly outperformed human participants, its availability as a diagnostic aid did not meaningfully improve physicians' overall diagnostic reasoning compared to conventional resources. The study did, however, suggest that GPT-4 might improve certain aspects of clinical reasoning, such as efficiency and final diagnosis accuracy. The authors emphasize the importance of further research to effectively integrate LLMs into clinical practice and optimize their potential for improving medical diagnosis.
