Yes I have! I purchased a license for ChatGPT 4 when it was first released and have been using the different GPT's available. The one that i love is "Image Braille".

If it's going on a public website, I would recommend converting them to HTML and adding a redirect script to mathjax.org.

Why not AI image creation tools like Midjourney or Dall-E? Web masters are going to have to know the correct prompts to get banners and images they want to host on their pages.
