You have accessJournal of UrologySexual Function/Dysfunction: Medical, Hormonal hospital websites (3/21, 14.3%), unknown sources (2/21, 9.5%) and AUA guidelines (1/21, 4.8%). The mean impact factor for peer reviewed journals was 27.2 (SD 60.5), and median 3.9. A majority of references were found to be legitimate (13/21, 61.9%). However, 4 (19.0%) included citation errors and 4 (19.0%) references were not found. The question yielding the most fabricated references (3/4, 75%) was "How do I boost my testosterone levels naturally?" CONCLUSIONS: ChatGPT is a broadly available conversation-based resource where patients may receive accurate information regarding general testosterone related questions. Our study demonstrates accurate responses from mostly accurate references in response to common questions. However, when queried about topics with fewer definitive references, the model fabricated sources with seemingly reputable authors and journals. This presents a serious pitfall of a natural language processing model for patients seeking reliable information; where false information can be presented backed up by illegitimate evidence.
