Description
Mats Christiansen, Henrik Eriksson, and Lisbeth Fagerström reply to a letter faulting their study of chatbot answers about sexual health after prostate cancer. The letter argued that the chatbots' medical accuracy went unmeasured. The authors answer that accuracy was never their target. Their study, they explain, examined how answers were framed and experienced by the men reading them, not whether each claim matched clinical guidelines.
A made-up patient prompt served as a standard interaction, not an exam. They welcome accuracy testing as a partner approach and note that real users often ask questions built on wrong assumptions, which future work should probe.
