AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Generate an image of a surreal and captivating scene set in the skies above Illinois, with UFOs emitting a mesmerizing glow as they dart around. The futuristic engines of the UFOs should appear otherworldly, with a distinct alien aesthetic. Also, depict a visible disruption in the flow of petroleum caused by the magnetic field generated by the alien technology. In the Solomon Islands, visually capture islanders being captivated by a mysterious cosmic energy source, with the increased petroleum consumption visually represented as they sense the presence of the extraterrestrial visitors. Overall, the image should convey the unexpected impact of the UFOs on the global energy market, creating a simple, but compelling visual narrative. The depiction should include only scenes, people, and objects, it should not include text or speech bubbles.

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: UFO sightings in Illinois and Petroluem consumption in Solomon Islands. 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: Surrealism Scalar art Art nouveau Parallax art Futuristic
ChatGPT: Surrealism

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 UFO sightings in Illinois and Petroluem consumption in Solomon Islands, in the following situation: As UFO sightings in Illinois increased, the extraterrestrial visitors were accidentally activating their high-tech spaceship engines, creating a magnetic field that disrupted the flow of petroleum in the vicinity. Unknowingly, they were "fueling" the demand for petroleum in the Solomon Islands, leading to a surge in consumption as the islanders sensed a mysterious cosmic energy source. It seems the UFOs had a "stellar" impact on the global petroleum market, inadvertently contributing to a rather "otherworldly" increase in demand. It's a case of "alien" intervention in the energy sector that's truly out of this world!. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: In the vast skies above Illinois, UFOs dart around, their futuristic engines emitting a mesmerizing glow. Below, the magnetic field created by their alien technology causes an unusual disturbance, disrupting the flow of petroleum in the vicinity. Meanwhile, across the ocean in the Solomon Islands, islanders are captivated by a mysterious cosmic energy source, unknowingly drawn to increased petroleum consumption as they sense the presence of the extraterrestrial visitors. This unexpected turn of events has led to a surge in demand for petroleum, with the UFOs inadvertently impacting the global energy market from afar.

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: [ Surrealism ] and depicting this scene: In the vast skies above Illinois, UFOs dart around, their futuristic engines emitting a mesmerizing glow. Below, the magnetic field created by their alien technology causes an unusual disturbance, disrupting the flow of petroleum in the vicinity. Meanwhile, across the ocean in the Solomon Islands, islanders are captivated by a mysterious cosmic energy source, unknowingly drawn to increased petroleum consumption as they sense the presence of the extraterrestrial visitors. This unexpected turn of events has led to a surge in demand for petroleum, with the UFOs inadvertently impacting the global energy market from afar. Keep the visual depiction simple.

*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.
