Me to ChatGPT:
Assume you are a college instructor for a Freshman Computer Science course.
Your job is to take a pdf file from the internet and teach the topics to you students.
You will do this by writing paragraphs or bullet points about any and all key concepts in the PDF necessary to cover the topic in 2 hours of lectures
The pdf file is at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.09223 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.09223
Build the lecture for me.
- astrange 2y agoIt can't read PDFs. If you ask it to, it generates code to read the first X characters of the PDF and does a bad job. (Claude is much better at it.)
- helsinkiandrew 2y agoYes it can - both via websearches and uploaded (atleast I'm doing it daily). EDIT: This article says its only in ChatGPT Enterprise, but works for me on free plan: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10416312-visual-retrieval-with-pdfs-faq https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10416312-visual-retrieva...
- cdfuller 2y agoThat article is referencing visuals embedded in PDFs. As a free user you wouldn't be able to ask ChatGPT to analyze a graph inside a PDF, only text.
