Assessment of Physician Preferences for Large Language Model–Generated Responses Across Geographic Regions and Clinical Experience Levels: Preliminary Survey Study

Abstract

This exploratory study demonstrates that physicians across diverse regions and experience levels generally prefer LLM-generated responses to human-authored ones. The consistency of this finding across continents and practice durations underscores growing professional acceptance of AI as a viable tool for patient communication. These results suggest that modern LLMs, particularly GPT-4.0, may provide clinically acceptable, contextually relevant, and user-trusted health information, with potential to augment physician workflows and patient education.
