Drag and drop PDF to MATLAB conversion with ChatGPT

Illustrates how to manually drag over a PDF to generate MATLAB code using OpenAI's ChatGPT.

So imagine you are interested in understanding better, say, the 1/v energy dependence of the cross section for neutron-induced fission on uranium (why thermal energy neutrons are good, high energy neutrons not so much), and you find this lovely optical-analog paper in pdf form [1] and just gotta play with a formula there.

Drag over the paragraph in the pdf and drop onto ChatGPT with the directive "convert to MATLAB code". The results are a good start!
