I have read with great interest the manuscript titled “Using Artificial Intelligence to Label Free-Text Operative and Ultrasound Reports for Grading Pediatric Appendicitis” by Abu-Ashour et al. [1]. The authors showcase the superior performance of ChatGPT-4 compared to manual data extraction, achieving higher precision and an F-score that strikes a balance between accuracy and comprehensiveness. Importantly, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot demonstrated a significantly lower error rate than humans when assigning the appendicitis grade.
