Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. It’s this thing called ChatGPT, and it’s changing the game in natural language processing. It’s not just any software, it’s large, it’s pre-trained, and it’s ready to revolutionize scientific writing and so much more. Believe me, it’s huge.

Now, we’ve been looking into this, really looking into it, at a major University hospital. We’re talking about neurosurgery here, very complex stuff. And we’ve got these reports, discharge summaries, operative reports, and we’re comparing the old way, with SpeaKING, to the new, with ChatGPT. We’re talking about serious conditions here: chronic subdural hematoma, spinal decompression, craniotomy. And guess what? ChatGPT is winning big time. We’re seeing time reductions that are statistically significant. I mean, it’s not even close!

But, and it’s a big but, we’ve got to talk about factual correctness. It’s mostly great, but there’s a catch with craniotomy reports. We’ve got to be honest, it’s not perfect, but it’s still very, very good. We’re talking about a p-value of 0.002, which is something, but we’re going to get it even better.

So, in conclusion, ChatGPT is helping us write faster, smarter, and it’s doing it with style. But we’re not stopping here. We’re going to keep looking into it, because we want to make sure we’re doing it right, with the best ethics, the best use cases. We’re going to explore it more in future studies. It’s going to be fantastic.
