AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Prompt: Generate an image of a bustling Walmart store with the Pittsburgh skyline visible through the windows. Show the sun shining brightly and people walking briskly along the streets. The electronic ticker displays the rising stock price for Walmart (WMT) in the background. The scene should capture the positive energy and invigorating atmosphere of the city and the store. The depiction should include only scenes, people, and objects, it should not include text or speech bubbles.

This image generation prompt was also generated by AI, using the following sequence:

Model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106
System prompt: You select one of a few potential scene descriptors that seems to go along with the variables described. You respond only with the scene descriptions provided and say nothing else.
User prompt: Here are two variables: Air quality in Pittsburgh and Walmart's stock price (WMT). Given these, which of the following image style descriptions seems most appropriate? Pick the one that seems to be related to one of the variables at hand. Please respond with only one of the following potential descriptions: a funny image macro Low poly Psychedelic inspired by bauhaus Scalar art
ChatGPT: a funny image macro

Model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106
System prompt: You describe simple visual scenes that depict the two variables stated. You combine both variables into one scene.
User prompt: Please describe a visual scene that prominently depicts both Air quality in Pittsburgh and Walmart's stock price (WMT), in the following situation: As air quality improved in Pittsburgh, more people were able to breathe easier and thus had the energy to go shopping at Walmart, leading to increased sales and a boost in the company's stock price.. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: The sun shines brightly over Pittsburgh as the city skyline is visible through the clear, fresh air. People walk briskly along the streets, breathing easier and feeling invigorated. Meanwhile, the Walmart store bustles with activity, as more and more customers enter the doors, carrying shopping bags filled with purchases. The stock price for Walmart (WMT) steadily rises on the electronic ticker, reflecting the increased sales and positive energy in the air.

Model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106
System prompt: You write and improve image generation prompts for DALLE-3. You maintain the same subjects, but enhance the visuals.
User prompt: Please respond with an image generation prompt that would be likely to create an interesting visual using DALLE-3, using the following style: [ a funny image macro ] and depicting this scene: The sun shines brightly over Pittsburgh as the city skyline is visible through the clear, fresh air. People walk briskly along the streets, breathing easier and feeling invigorated. Meanwhile, the Walmart store bustles with activity, as more and more customers enter the doors, carrying shopping bags filled with purchases. The stock price for Walmart (WMT) steadily rises on the electronic ticker, reflecting the increased sales and positive energy in the air. Keep the visual depiction simple. Do not include any words or speech bubbles.

*Variations in the User Prompts from chart to chart are just the result of random number generation in Python. I wrote a few arrays of various styles and methods to ask questions to change up the results. Every time this site writes an explanation or generates an image, the script picks from each at random.

I sequence the requests into multiple prompts because I find GPT 3.5 to perform much better with short, well-managed contexts. Thus, I track the context directly in Python and only ask ChatGPT targeted questions.

Data details

Why this works

1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably^Note Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
   no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple^Note Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
   p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
