So this week ChatGPT has just introduced dynamic visual explanations inside of ChatGPT.
This is basically a feature that is going to let you have make mathematical and scientific concepts a lot more interactive.
So rather than just, you know, getting like some sort of text explanation or maybe like a static diagram, this new feature is going to let you manipulate variables directly and then you can watch equations update in real time inside of ChatGPT.
This is very cool.
So an example of this is like if you were exploring the Pythagorean theorem or something, users could basically, you could go and adjust the sides of a triangle and then immediately you'll see how the hypotenuse is changing.
The feature right now is supported in more than 70 different math and science concepts.
It includes compound interest, exponential decay, linear equations, column's law, Ohm's law, kinetic energy, Hooke's law.
Honestly, it's pretty cool if I'm telling the truth.
I think that right now, if you're able to kind of turn an explanation into this sort of like interactive module, the feature is going to shift from maybe just the tool giving you these really simple answers to actually helping users, and I mean hopefully students and others, explore how the concept actually works and get kind of a deeper insight
insight and understanding of the problem.
So honestly, I remember when AI came out and everyone said it's going to make everybody dumber and we're going to just outsource our brains to AI.
But I actually think it's an incredible tool for education that's going to make us smarter and we're going to be able to learn more.
OpenAI says that more than 140 million people already use ChatGPT every single week for math and science help.
I think it's over 900 million people weekly just for general use.
But 140 million just for math and science is a huge chunk of that.
And so I think this is obviously something that's been very tricky for a lot of people.
It's hard to get access to good tutors.
And this is an awesome opportunity, I think, for a lot of people.
Other companies are definitely experimenting with some similar approaches in 2025, kind of at the end of last year.
Gemini introduced some interactive diagrams within their own AI assistant as part of kind of an effort to
