AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Generate an image of a bustling street in Austin at dusk, where a glitch art style is used to depict a vibrant sign prominently displaying "Welcome to Austin, Texas - Home of Live Music Capital of the World". The scene includes a row of cars emitting exaggerated, surreal exhaust fumes, contributing to a glitchy depiction of air pollution. The crowd is depicted in disjointed, fragmented forms, with a group of friends conversing animatedly and one person, named Lisette, smiling amid the dynamic atmosphere. The glitch art style adds an otherworldly, electric energy to the familiar urban setting. 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: Popularity of the first name Lisette and Air pollution in Austin. 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: Woodblock painting Glitch art Sci-fi fantacy Vaporwave Glitch art
ChatGPT: Glitch art

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 Popularity of the first name Lisette and Air pollution in Austin, in the following situation: because as the name Lisette grew in popularity, more and more people moved to Austin to be closer to the "live music capital of the world." The increase in population led to more cars on the road, contributing to higher levels of air pollution in the area.. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: In a bustling street of Austin, a vibrant sign reads "Welcome to Austin, Texas - Home of Live Music Capital of the World." On the street, a row of cars is visible, with their exhaust fumes visibly rising into the air, causing air pollution. Among the crowds, a group of friends chats excitedly, and one person named Lisette smiles as she takes in the lively atmosphere.

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: [ Glitch art ] and depicting this scene: In a bustling street of Austin, a vibrant sign reads "Welcome to Austin, Texas - Home of Live Music Capital of the World." On the street, a row of cars is visible, with their exhaust fumes visibly rising into the air, causing air pollution. Among the crowds, a group of friends chats excitedly, and one person named Lisette smiles as she takes in the lively atmosphere. 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.
4. Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data.^Note In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.
   
   For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.
   
   (This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
   They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.

It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not.
