Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the potential of large language models, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, to analyze social media posts for signs of conjunctivitis outbreaks by evaluating 12,194 related tweets across various countries from 2012 to 2023.
- - Results showed that GPT-3.5's probabilistic assessments correlated well with evaluations from human raters and with tweet volumes in some regions, while GPT-4 demonstrated even stronger correlations.
- - Overall, the research indicates that using AI to analyze social media could serve as an effective early warning system for identifying potential infectious disease outbreaks, particularly conjunctivitis.
