Display Equations in ChatGPT

Key Takeaways

good morning everyone how is it going today today I'm gonna be showing you real quick how to go from this kind of mathematical expressions in chat GPT to this kind of mathematical Expressions okay all right so without further Ado let's get right into it [Music] all right so if you've been anywhere near the internet in the past few months you have probably heard about charger PT and how incredibly useful it is to actually learn and to explain yourself very complicated topics among which is mathematics and some mathematical Concepts um so I mean personally I've been using it a lot for studying mathematics and some topics in machine learning and it's been extremely useful but something that really came short that it came short with was with rendering mathematics inside cha GPT so whenever I would want to display some sort of equation or something or I would kind of ask it to explain a concept to me and it would explain it with an equation I would have to ask it to use latex to to to print the equation and then go to a latex converter to actually display the equation with beautiful symbols so basically I started looking for it so this is a moment to give a shout out to this awesome dude who did this pretty much for free and uh who gave gave it away for everyone he basically developed exactly what what I'm showing you um which is this piece of code right here um which you can copy and paste somewhere where you're using um and then just ask chargpt to use latex to to display mathematical equations and then you you just gotta paste whatever the code he developed and then just hit enter and it's basically going to render the code in chargepd however I found that there is a problem with this one because if you're using it for a long time it tends to break the thing I suppose is that either Chrome or charger PT doesn't really like having external Javascript and injected in a script tag so yeah after a few minutes it would just crash and just I would have to reload and it was very um not extremely a good experience so what I did was basically I just bundled that and repackaged it into this equation right here which basically does the same thing but I've been using it for a few weeks now and it works pretty good so I'll be showing you how to install it yourself so basically the idea behind the question is that you go to chat GPT and you're gonna want to ask chargpt to display all of the equations using latex right so basically I mean what I would do usually is just write a prompt myself but here I just added a button to ask for to to create the prompt automatically and then you would you have to click on render latex right and this basically just takes all of the instances where there is this kind of um latex language in the in the screen and then it just renders it especially for chargept right and then you can just stop the rendering but the thing is that if you continue working with this like for example give me another equation it's going to continue rendering it even if you don't like press the button again it's like continuously rendering a related expression in um in the screen so I mean that part is pretty useful for the moment it only works in charge of PT because that's where I was using it and so now I'm going to show you how to install it to install it I actually tried to put it on on Chrome Webster uh this weekend but um it's taken a bit of time to actually have it like go through all the permissions and like to have it validated so I'm going to show you how to install it from GitHub so I'm gonna put this Link in the description which is the link to the repository of the extension and of course if you're a developer you can totally contribute to it and just send a pull request and we can go through it but the idea here is that if you want to install it in your computer you're going to want to come here I mean to go to the link in the description and then you're going to come here to code and then click on download zip right so download this file right here you will have to unzip it like like in Mac you can just unzip it by clicking on it like this and here you have it all right so inside the file let me show you what it looks like inside the file inside the unzipped file you will have this folder right here it's called extension the rest of it is basically just to to build it to to I mean if you're a developer you know what this kind of things are but um if you just want to install it in your browser the only folder that you're interested in is extension right here so in order to install it in your browser you're going to have to go to in your browser you're going to have to go to Chrome extensions which is like the list of your extensions that you have installed I'm just going to remove the one that I already have here installed and you're going to have to click right here and develop developer mode so that you can see this button right here which is load unpacked then you're going to click on load unpacked and you're going to look for the extension that you just downloaded right and inside the file you're going to select the extension button right I mean ideally I would place this not indeed downloads folder but in some folder that I know that I'm going to keep for a long time because if you delete this folder you're going to delete the extension as well so I would just put it in my document so wherever you want um and then just select the extension folder click on select then it's going to load it and if for some reason the extension crashes you're just going to have to click right here and refresh the extension and now you can definitely just go to chatgpt like this and you will have this new extension right here which is Chad GPT equation renderer I chose just to pin it here and then you click on it you have a pop-up the first button does what I showed you already it automatically creates The Prompt for chatgpt any tasks it asks it to use latex to render equations and then you just render all the equations in its request and as you can see the renderer is is turning all um while you have this enabled so you can continue asking for I mean you can just continue your study session and your all of your questions will be converted into this beautiful Centex like symbols so yeah I mean I'm sure that if someone has um done I'm has a little bit more experience with rgbt maybe there is a prompt um to actually do this without an extension I have been trying to do something like this um these are some tests that I that I used I mean at some point it worked to do this without um the extension but sometimes it just goes crazy and sometimes it just doesn't work like asking it like if you ask it to use double like special characters or something like that um sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't display the equation um for my I mean myself I've just found that the easiest thing to do is just to use this pretty simple extension uh if you're interested I'm going to show you how to build this equate in this extension in a future video so you can subscribe if you like that um so yeah I mean that's all for this video I hope you you found this useful and I'll see you next time cheers [Music] [Music] foreign [Music]
