The advanced large language model (LLM) ChatGPT has shown its potential in
different domains and remains unbeaten due to its characteristics compared to
other LLMs. This study aims to evaluate the potential of using a fine-tuned
ChatGPT model as a personal medical assistant in the Arabic language. To do so,
this study uses publicly available online questions and answering datasets in
Arabic language. There are almost 430K questions and answers for 20
disease-specific categories. GPT-3.5-turbo model was fine-tuned with a portion
of this dataset. The performance of this fine-tuned model was evaluated through
automated and human evaluation. The automated evaluations include perplexity,
coherence, similarity, and token count. Native Arabic speakers with medical
knowledge evaluated the generated text by calculating relevance, accuracy,
precision, logic, and originality. The overall result shows that ChatGPT has a
bright future in medical assistance.
