-Yes, the speaker mentions that they will show how to build the extension in a future video for those who are interested.
Outlines
📚 Introduction to Math Rendering in Chat GPT
The speaker begins by greeting the audience and introducing the topic of the video, which is about enhancing the way mathematical expressions are displayed in Chat GPT. They mention the utility of Chat GPT in learning and explaining complex subjects, particularly mathematics and machine learning. The main issue discussed is the difficulty of rendering mathematical equations within Chat GPT, which typically requires the use of LaTeX and a converter to display the equations properly. The speaker then credits an individual who developed a code snippet to address this issue, allowing for LaTeX rendering within Chat GPT. However, they also note that this solution can be unstable over time, leading to crashes due to potential conflicts with external JavaScript.
🛠️ Installing the Chat GPT Equation Renderer Extension
The second paragraph delves into the process of installing a browser extension that the speaker has developed to improve the rendering of mathematical equations in Chat GPT. The speaker provides a step-by-step guide on how to download the extension from GitHub, unzip the file, and install it in the browser by enabling developer mode and loading the unpacked extension. They emphasize the importance of placing the extension in a permanent location to avoid accidental deletion. Once installed, the extension offers a button to automatically create prompts for Chat GPT to render equations in LaTeX and a feature to continuously render equations on the screen. The speaker also mentions their intention to demonstrate how to build the extension in a future video and invites viewers to subscribe for updates.
