The ChatGPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 3) is the third iteration of OpenAI's popular language model. It was released in 2020 and is considered one of the most advanced large language models (LLM). It is being trained to retrieve massive amounts of text data from the Internet, making it capable of generating human-like text and performing various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as text completion, summarization, translation, and more. Whereas ChatGPT-3 is a conversational AI language model based on OpenAI's ChatGPT-3 model and recently released on November 30, 2022. NLT-based ChatGPT-3 has been widely used in various industries, including health and medical sciences. Since the introduction of ChatGPT-3, opinions on the matter have been divided, with some people criticizing it and others welcoming it. In this paper, we explored the potential application of ChatGPT-3 in the health industry. First, we extracted the content provided by the Chatbot about the application of NLP, the potential benefits of health services and types of Internet of Orthopedic Things (IOT). Then is evaluated through a literature review for confirmation of contents. Based on the limited available literature, ChatGPT-3 can become Virtual Doctor (DocGPT).
