AI explanation

^{Show image generation prompt} Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Generate an image of a movie theater in Kosovo, with people captivated as they watch a larger-than-life Will Smith on the screen. The scene is illuminated by the glow of the movie, while in the background, a power plant is buzzing with increased activity, symbolizing the surge in electricity demand inspired by Will Smith's presence on screen. The connection between the charismatic performance and the boost in electricity generation should be visible, as if the actor's energy is directly powering the nation. 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: The number of movies Will Smith appeared in and Electricity generation in Kosovo. 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 TIME magazine cover image A comic-book-style illustration with muted colors and a dotted halftone pattern from the 1960s A comic-book-style illustration with muted colors and a dotted halftone pattern from the 1960s Macabre A photo-realistic image
ChatGPT: A TIME magazine cover image

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 The number of movies Will Smith appeared in and Electricity generation in Kosovo, in the following situation: Will Smith's on-screen charisma and megawatt smile evidently sparked a surge in motivation among the people of Kosovo. As they tuned in to watch his performances, they couldn't help but feel charged up and full of energy. It's as if his blockbuster presence somehow electrified the nation, leading to a rewiring of productivity and a fresh power play in the realm of electricity generation. It's a shocking connection, but it seems that when it comes to boosting power production in Kosovo, Will Smith's roles truly have the spark!. Keep the description simple.
ChatGPT: In a movie theater in Kosovo, people watch mesmerized as Will Smith's charismatic performances light up the screen. In the background, a power plant hums with increased activity, generating electricity to meet the surge in demand inspired by the actor's on-screen presence. The connection between Will Smith's movies and the boost in electricity generation is palpable, as if his megawatt smile has directly energized the nation.

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 TIME magazine cover image ] and depicting this scene: In a movie theater in Kosovo, people watch mesmerized as Will Smith's charismatic performances light up the screen. In the background, a power plant hums with increased activity, generating electricity to meet the surge in demand inspired by the actor's on-screen presence. The connection between Will Smith's movies and the boost in electricity generation is palpable, as if his megawatt smile has directly energized the nation. 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. 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.
5. 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.

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([2,0,0,1,1,6,1,3,4,1,3,6,7,4,])
array_2 = np.array([4.856,4.684,4.86534,5.46124,5.59418,6.14408,5.1199,5.76226,5.9821,5.91913,5.91304,6.34648,6.71049,6.33798,])
