A Comparative Evaluation of Three Large Language Models for Parent‐Centered Questions About Anorexia Nervosa

Key Points

To evaluate how well different large language models provide information to parents about anorexia nervosa.
Comparative analysis of three large language models
Assessment of information accuracy and completeness
Evaluation of domain-specific variability in responses
AI models provide broadly accurate preliminary information for parents
Notable omissions and variability in content were observed
AI-generated information should complement, not replace, clinical guidance

Abstract

LLMs may provide broadly accurate preliminary information for parents seeking guidance about AN. However, persistent omissions and domain-specific variability highlight important limitations. AI-generated information should therefore be regarded as a complementary resource rather than a replacement for professional clinical guidance.
