Since the development of ChatGPT, many areas are explored about its use and its potentials. Medicine in general and especially medical education is one of these promising areas. This study aims to investigate the capabilities of artificial intelligence technologies, focusing specifically on ChatGPT and emerging text-to-video features, in the development of educational materials for orthopedic medicine. The study is structured into steps, where the first focus is on their application in generating content related to shoulder examination techniques, evaluating the accuracy and effectiveness of these artificial intelligence–generated materials. The primary research question examines whether artificial intelligence–generated educational tools can serve as reliable and accessible resources for these purpose. ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools were utilized with simple prompts to generate detailed descriptions of shoulder examination techniques. These texts were reviewed by orthopedic specialists for accuracy. Visual aids based on the artificial intelligence–generated content were created and assessed for anatomical correctness. Additionally, these visuals were converted into short videos using the Vidful.ai platform to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of incorporating dynamic content into medical education. The artificial intelligence–generated texts were comprehensive and showed promise as educational materials. However, the visuals derived from these texts exhibited deficiencies in anatomical accuracy. The attempt to transform these visuals into short videos using Vidful.ai demonstrated limited success, highlighting challenges in producing dynamic and precise content from artificial intelligence–generated visuals. Artificial intelligence–supported tools can offer an accessible and innovative approach to medical education but require expert oversight to ensure content accuracy and effectiveness. This study suggests that leveraging broader and higher-quality datasets could enhance the quality of artificial intelligence–generated educational materials. As artificial intelligence technologies continue to evolve, their role in medical education and patient information dissemination is expected to expand, potentially establishing them as effective and widely adopted tools.
