AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Generate an image where in a vibrant café in Washington, D.C., patrons are immersed in conversations about voting for the Democratic presidential candidate. The café is filled with people enjoying cups of yogurt, each with a different flavor and topping. As they savor their snacks, the subtle influence of the active cultures on their gut microbiome nudges their political leanings. The scene captures a jovial and inclusive atmosphere, with patrons engaged in lively discussions while indulging in the creamy goodness of their yogurt cups. The image should reflect the welcoming and inclusive vibe that mirrors the platform of the candidate being supported, all in a humorous and light-hearted manner. 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: Yogurt consumption and Votes for the Democrat Presidential candidate in Washington, D.C.. 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: Data cyber art Voxel art a funny image you would see on reddit Futuristic Glitch art
ChatGPT: a funny image you would see on reddit

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 Yogurt consumption and Votes for the Democrat Presidential candidate in Washington, D.C., in the following situation: The active cultures in yogurt led to a more liberal gut microbiome, which in turn influenced political leanings towards the Democratic candidate. Additionally, the smooth and creamy texture of yogurt may have subconsciously swayed residents towards a more harmonious and inclusive political platform.. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: In a bustling café in Washington, D.C., people are enjoying cups of yogurt while engaging in passionate discussions about voting for the Democratic presidential candidate. The smooth and creamy yogurt is being savored by patrons, and as they enjoy their snacks, the active cultures are influencing their gut microbiome, subtly nudging their political leanings towards the Democratic candidate. The lively atmosphere is filled with the sounds of enthusiastic chatter and the clinking of spoons against yogurt cups, creating a welcoming and inclusive vibe that mirrors the inclusive platform of the candidate being supported.

*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. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
5. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. ^Note Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
   Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.

Try it yourself

# These modules make it easier to perform the calculation
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats

# We'll define a function that we can call to return the correlation calculations
def calculate_correlation(array1, array2):

    # Calculate Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value
    correlation, p_value = stats.pearsonr(array1, array2)

    # Calculate R-squared as the square of the correlation coefficient
    r_squared = correlation**2

    return correlation, r_squared, p_value

# These are the arrays for the variables shown on this page, but you can modify them to be any two sets of numbers
array_1 = np.array([4.4,5.9,6.5,9.2,11.7,14,13.7,13.6,])
array_2 = np.array([84.6409,85.19,85.1551,89.1839,92.4571,90.9131,90.4839,92.1497,])
array_1_name = "Yogurt consumption"
array_2_name = "Votes for the Democratic Presidential candidate in Washington, D.C."

# Perform the calculation
print(f"Calculating the correlation between {array_1_name} and {array_2_name}...")
correlation, r_squared, p_value = calculate_correlation(array_1, array_2)

# Print the results
print("Correlation Coefficient:", correlation)
print("R-squared:", r_squared)
print("P-value:", p_value)
