How to stop PF GUI auto changing i to I?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an issue with spell-check functionality in a web browser, specifically Internet Explorer version 10, which automatically capitalizes the lowercase "i" to an uppercase "I." This poses a problem for users who frequently use "i" in mathematical contexts, such as in complex analysis. The user is seeking a way to disable this specific auto-correction feature without affecting other spell-check corrections. It is confirmed that the issue is related to the web browser's settings and add-ons, but no clear solution is provided for managing the spell-check settings. The user considers adapting their formatting by omitting spaces when using "i" in mathematical expressions to avoid the auto-capitalization.

Hi,

I notice my posts now have spell-check which I like but it's also changing little I to capital I which is a problem for me since I frequently make complex analysis posts which involves complex i. . I believe that's my web browser doing that right and not PF? Is there a way to disable the little I to big I auto-correction and not affect the other spell-check corrections?

Thanks,
Jack

It is your computer (probably the web browser), indeed.
Which browser do you use? Any add-ons installed?

Hi, sorry about that. I'm using IE version 10 and I now see it has a spelling correction add-on. But when I go into managing add ons, I don't see any options for managing the spell checker.

I'm just now realizing it doesn't correct it without spaces as in ig(x) but if I were to put a space in it, even in tex mode, it would auto-capitalize the I like I g(x).

I suppose if there is no way to fix this, I can learn to omit spaces when I'm formatting math code with I in it .
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
