TL;DR
Although some models provided comparatively stronger patient education, none consistently produced sufficiently accessible information on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and these tools may supplement, but should not replace, individualized counseling by urologists and multidisciplinary prostate cancer teams.
AI chatbots furnish moderately good-quality counseling for RACR, yet persistent gaps in transparency and readability render them inadequate as standalone patient education tools.

Although Gemini 3 and DeepSeek demonstrated greater readability in selected comparisons, median responses across all models remained above recommended patient-education reading levels, and LLM-generated responses should be regarded as supplementary rather than standalone sources of patient information regarding RA-TKA.

The findings describe informational quality, not clinical safety or decision-making, and support specialist verification before clinical use, and support specialist verification before clinical use.
The readability of all AI systems was below the recommended level for patient education but require expert validation, and Gemini and DeepSeek produced more accurate and clearer responses.
