Evaluation format, not model capability, drives measured triage failure in the assessment of consumer health AI

arXiv:2603.11413v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recent Nature Medicine study reported that ChatGPT Health under-triages 51.6% of emergencies and concluded that consumer-facing AI triage poses safety risks. Its protocol, however, was an exam-style scaffold (forced A/B/C/D output, knowledge suppression, no clarifying questions) unlike how consumers use health chatbots. We ask whether the headline error rate is a property of the models or of the measurement. In a first, mechanistic study, five frontier LLMs on a 17-scenario bank scored 6.4 points higher under naturalistic patient-styl
