Previously submitted to: JMIR Formative Research (no longer under consideration since May 01, 2024)

Date Submitted: Sep 15, 2023
Open Peer Review Period: Sep 15, 2023 - Nov 10, 2023
(closed for review but you can still tweet)

NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint

Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).

Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.

Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).

Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.

Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.

Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.

Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.

ABSTRACT

Background:

Chatbots are smart informal computer systems that simulate human discussion and allow computerized online assistance. Currently, there is no research about the context of a discussion regarding the use of the Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) among communities of different fields.

Objective:

This study will explore the existing type of social structure regarding “ChatGPT” on the Twitter network. It determined the top opinion leaders in these networks and explored the type of topics that generates users’ interest in “ChatGPT”.

Methods:

This study applied NodeXL to analyze the results and retrieved Twitter data from January 16, 2023, using the keywords “ChatGPT” and 19024 Tweets were collected. The gathered information was spontaneously collected in the “vertices” and “edges” on the NodeXL datasheets

Results:

We found that the top opinion leader (vertex) “Stratorob” had the highest in-betweeners and out-degree centrality. “OpenAi” had the in-degree centrality for networks. The results indicate that the vertex having maximum influence with the largest number of in-betweenness centrality has not linked with several followers.

Conclusions:

The content of top networks’ Tweets was around the number of “ChatGPT” innovations with the potential to significantly improve education delivery and innovative technologies, especially in healthcare and medical education. Clinical Trial: not applicable
