100-word summary
ChatGPT added interactive visuals for 70+ math and science concepts, letting students drag sliders and tweak formulas to see results in real time. Ask about the Pythagorean theorem and you get a manipulable diagram, not just text. It's live now for all logged-in users, free or paid. The shift from static explanations to playable lessons could change how 140 million weekly users actually understand concepts instead of memorizing them. OpenAI is betting that the best tutor doesn't just answer questions but lets you break the equation yourself and watch what happens.
