The same five LLMs showed significant differences on several readability indices for TB education texts, creating uneven reading difficulty that may undermine patient understanding and adherence.

From October 5 to 11, 2025, researchers tested five large language models on 20 pulmonary tuberculosis questions spanning five themes, generating 100 responses and rating them with C-PEMAT-P, GQS, and seven readability measures. GPT-5 ranked highest on C-PEMAT-P followed by Doubao, GQS was similar across models, and models differed significantly on several readability indices.
