I'm a teacher learning data analysis/data scientist and one thing I found working with ChatGPT that reminds me of teaching is that with a class of students, you can't just give instructions to a class activity and then sit back and wait for them to finish. You have to make sure everyone understood but observing their work/progress. And that's a lot like ChatGPT, you can't just ask it to do something and then blindly assume what it gives you is correct. You still need to check what it produces to make sure the two of you are on the same page.

My take away is that, when the analysis that you want to perform is complex, it takes way more time to come up with the right prompt and test the reliability of the results, than to write simple python code that visualizes everything reliably. Sometimes its easier to code than doing trial and error with prompts :) . But chatGPT seems to be doing great at generating quick results from a lot of unstructured sources when you need quick insights.

Really great run down and video. Interesting to see different ways you used this tool, thanks Luke!

I am by any metric new to data science and ChatGPT has been invaluable, particularly in my learning of SQL, Python, and Google Cloud and coding.

I think you are the first to explain in detail what these plug-in stuffs are about with Chatgpt.
I've been using Chatgpt for a time now and it's been so great.

Thanks for more clarity

Very thorough video as always! Also the thing about why it gives different values compared to what you see in the pdf itself, from what i read about how generative ai and tools like chatgpt work is they try to *guess* what the true response *should* be, that’s why in this context they’re not very good at working with numbers. For example if you give it a simple multiplication of two numbers it gives something that *looks* right even though it isn’t most of the time.

I thougt about this just yesterday!! And today you post a video. You're like a guru to me. I love your videos and try to insert this in my life as a student.

[Clever]

Thank you Luke. A great master class on how to derive insights. You really are an inspiration to all the data analysts "in the making" of the World.

Love this format! Great video my friend 😊

As a data scientist/ semiconductor researcher, I am very excited about this sort of “automation”. GPT4 is like a calculator on steroids, I can get my work done faster and better. And no it’s not always right but that’s where my knowledge as an SME comes into play and eventually AI will get better so it doesn’t matter too much. Secondly this stuff lets me spend way more time focusing on creative thought problems and less on brute forced analysis. And that freedom of time is invaluable because that’s where the leaps in tech come from, people thinking up cool stuff and then making it. AI helps give me more time than I’ve ever had before and I can use that time to advance my field.

Hi Luke, I like your content very informative and interesting. Keep up the good content.

[Mandelbrot]

Some very interesting analysis and conclusions, appreciate the video, thanks.

Plugins look pretty awesome to try!

Privacy however has been of utmost concern with financial and healthcare companies even if ChatGPT and plugins produce the best analytics results. You simply cannot do any internal data analysis until legal and engineering have signed off or until you build an in-house pipeline that does not communicate externally, and all of that requires resources.

Code generation seems like the best use case as that is largely input agnostic and does not reveal any confidential data.

It makes sense that the data analyst would like using chat GPT as a tool, but people in the field would be apprehensive about it's effects on the field. Quite simply it's a tool that increases the productivity of individuals, so the individuals using the tool will find their job easier, but at the same time it increases competition within the field because as each person becomes more productive the field becomes more competitive and there will be fewer jobs or maybe even more demands on the individuals. If you were the only person who used chat GPT and your managers did not know about it, yeah chat GPT would be a great tool. Just like if you were in a bar fight and you were the only person that had a gun, you would be at a distinct advantage. But if you're in a bar fight and suddenly everybody has guns well then it turns from a bar fight into a massacre

*_"If it ain't broke don't broke, don't fix it"_*

That's the mentality of the companies I worked for so it's not surprising that the survey showed few companies requiring AI related knowledge.

You make my life easier, thanks brother ❤️

Here is my take as an accountant. Ai tools will hit the tech department first and then slowly bleed into other departments with add ons to their current software tools. For example, no accountant I know will use this but include it as a free addon to their current erp and it will be used. It will take time but as these tools will eventually find their way into everything. Will it take your job, probably no. Will it change the way you do your job probably yes.

You are teaching me a lot thanku so much sir even I am using chatgpt for data analysis

[lucaslaragao]

Luke, amazing insights, thanks for the video!
