Out of curiosity, i put in some organic chemistry practice questions into ChatGPT just now, it got 1 out of 5 correct. Im not an outright hater of AI (I do dislike how its being forced into some things and makes the original product worse, and the enviromental impact it has) but i'm sure in the future it'll be able to do some wonderous things.

As it stands though, I would rather my doc do a review of literature rather than trusting ChatGPT alone.

    Out of curiosity, what questions?

    Organic chemistry isn't a subject for a medical degree, at least not in my neck of the woods (we have biochemistry) so I'm not super familiar with the subject, but curious enough to see what it got wrong.

    In the USA, organic chemistry is required by the vast majority of medical schools, and organic chemistry I is a prereq for biochemistry in most colleges.

    Your average applicant is going to have Orgo1/2 and biochemistry though.

    As far as the questions go, one was a multistep synthesis (It seemed to screw up markovnikov vs anti markovnikov addition if I had to guess where it went wrong).

    It didnt seem to do well with HNMR, or Fischer projections, it also got a mechanism of ring breaking wrong.

    It did get the question right regarding stability of chair conformations though.

    I cant post the exact questions as im not home where my old Ochem book is, but those are the jists.

    It seems to struggle with the more visual problems.

    Edit: The AAMC has a list of requirements for med schools, so far I've seen... 3 that dont require Ochem and use biochem in its place? Thats certainly not all of them, but theyre also certainly a extremely small minority. Although again, most universities also have Ochem1 as a prereq for Biochem. And if you're college is an ACS compliant university, they'll make you take ochem 2 for biochemistry also. Which is lame.
