AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Image Generation Prompt: Generate a cute 2D animation of an urban landscape with buildings obscured by a thick smog. In the foreground, depict a group of cartoon YouTubers, each with a unique and exaggerated expression of frustration on their faces, as they search for inspiration. Show the screen flickering to display multiple 'Be Smart' science YouTube video titles, presented in a playful and cartoonish manner. The hazy atmosphere should be evident in the overall color palette and the depiction of the polluted air. Capture the struggle for clean air and the pursuit of engaging content through the visual aesthetic. 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 Buffalo and How professional-sounding 'Be Smart' science YouTube video titles are. 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: Cyber folk Magic realism Pop art Cute 2D animation Macabre
ChatGPT: Cute 2D animation

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 Buffalo and How professional-sounding 'Be Smart' science YouTube video titles are, in the following situation: As the smog rolled in, the brainpower rolled out, leading to a surge in not-so-clever video titles. It's a case of hazy air leading to hazy creativity, creating a perfect storm of uninspired content. It's like the air pollution clouded not just the skies, but also the judgment of YouTubers everywhere. The struggle for clean air in Buffalo just got real - for the sake of catchy video titles, they might need to clear the air, literally!. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: On a hazy day in Buffalo, a thick smog envelops the city, dimming the skyline and stifling the air. Amidst the murky atmosphere, YouTubers desperately search for inspiration, but their creativity seems to be clouded by the polluted air. The screen flickers to show numerous 'Be Smart' science YouTube video titles that lack the usual professional flair, a consequence of the hazy conditions outside. The struggle for clean air in Buffalo seems to have extended to the realm of imaginative video titles, as the city grapples with both air quality and the quest for engaging content.

Model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106

*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 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 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.

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([70.6849,67.9452,65.2055,77.3224,76.4384,74.7945,84.3836,86.0656,78.3562,80.274,66.3004,])
array_2 = np.array([7.48,7.1538,7.06,7.3478,7.6136,7.4737,7.8824,7.72,7.625,7.7241,7.0926,])
array_1_name = "Air quality in Buffalo"
array_2_name = "How professional-sounding 'Be Smart' science  YouTube video titles are"

# 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)
