Usually, Chat GPT, when it’s working with me on math stuff, will show fractions as a fraction, etc… Currently though, it’s displaying it in latex. Why is that?

I believe both versions you have seen with fractions and without are both LaTeX

I think that it’s a rendering issue… Maybe the css file didn’t load?

That’s my best guess… Maybe Ctrl+F5, er not sure hard reload is on Mac but if it didn’t load correctly that will fix it.

Alternatively:

I am not convinced though…

I have the same problem with the official app for Mac OS.

I couldn’t replicate on iPhone, I know another member has tried on iPad too. I don’t have another Mac OS device to test on sorry.

I would suggest to try quitting and reloading app in case a file hasn’t downloaded properly at runtime like the .css suggestion above…

It has been a long time since ChatGPT hasn’t fixed this issue. It occurs on the app versions for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. However, the web version always displays math correctly. I’m not sure if the same problem exists on the Windows and Android apps.

Still exists on Mac chatgpt app, but ok in the chrome web display here. Very disappointed to see them not fix for half a year at least.
