ChatGPT has demonstrated impressive abilities and impacted various aspects of human society since its creation, gaining widespread attention from different social spheres. This study aims to comprehensively assess public perception of ChatGPT on Reddit. The dataset was collected via Reddit, a social media platform, and includes 23,733 posts and comments related to ChatGPT. Firstly, to examine public attitudes, this study conducts content analysis utilizing topic modeling with the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm to extract pertinent topics. Furthermore, sentiment analysis categorizes user posts and comments as positive, negative, or neutral using Textblob and Vader in natural language processing. The result of topic modeling shows that seven topics regarding ChatGPT are identified, which can be grouped into three themes: user perception, technical methods, and impacts on society. Results from the sentiment analysis show that 61.6% of the posts and comments hold favorable opinions on ChatGPT. They emphasize ChatGPT’s ability to prompt and engage in natural conversations with users, without relying on complex natural language processing. It provides suggestions for ChatGPT developers to enhance its usability design and functionality. Meanwhile, stakeholders, including users, should comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT in human society to promote ethical and regulated implementation of the system.

“…Previous research has examined the visible nature of Reddit to make sense of health testimonials (O'Donnell & Guidry, 2020), personal disclosures surrounding oral health care (B. C. Britt et al, 2020), interactions regarding childlessness and medical procedures (Moore, 2020), the degree to which health crises are covered and shared (Kilgo et al, 2019), among many others. As Lampinen (2016) noted in the concentrated research surrounding mainstream social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, there is a need to examine other platforms, as they also facilitate the spread of health testimonials and public opinions of health behaviors Valiavska & Smith-Frigerio, 2023). Burgeoning micro-communities within Twitter interactions formed from short text, as well as the pervasive value placed on communicating within one's existing interpersonal network rather than establishing new connections on Facebook, have led researchers to understand communication across other sites.…”

There is a growing body of health communication literature addressing health-related discourse across user-generated platforms. Specifically, Reddit, the 19th most visited website in the world, serves as a promising venue for understanding communication surrounding health concerns. Such studies apply a variety of theories and methodological approaches, analyze large corpora, and build predictive and descriptive models for public health communication. The current study investigates health communication literature in the context of Reddit, identifying major topics, theories, and methods employed across studies, as well as how health communication topics have evolved over time. We identify future research directions, proposing theoretical and methodological considerations as well as issues and practices to employ when researching health phenomena via social platforms.
