Have you tried modelling your data using AI?
Short answer, yes a bit.
Long answer, in another place where I really post, it has a lot of guys into the tech data analysis side like me, and some are getting heavily into playing around with AI e.g. chatgpt and claude. In one of by invite only sections there was a good back and forth about what we found out.
If you let AI's utilise what's on t'internet you basically get a glorified packaged and formatted google search, which can be really useful for some things but so much for others.
If you don't have the skills, AI can write code but from what I've been told by guys who use it like that you have to check what it's done and it can be something of an iterative process to get it's output correct, or use it as a starting point to finish yourself. But at the moment it's at junior programmer level for what it can do.
The best approach is to feed your own data into an AI and limit it's analysis to that data, but you hit a point where you have to pay due to size of the data or amount of analysis time.
I had a good play about with claude feeding in some of my own bespoke data, which AI couldn't generate, and even I paid so I had some decent bandwidth to use.
I'm used to looking at pages of numbers and/or charts and understanding what it's telling me, and/or first refining it myself to get a clearer view, so I tried feeding in data I'd already analysed to see if the AI told me anything different.
It didn't come out with anything outstandingly new but it helped coalesce my own thinking or cause me to look again at something I'd seen but hadn't given enough thought to. My view is that it works well as an extra pair of eyes but I'd never blindly trust what it tells me
But I need to delve further as that was just from my initial dabbling.
What I'd like to do is repeat the experiment but with a really big dataset but that would mean spending more dosh than I'm willing to spend on AI experimentation at the moment.
AI is not magic , it's just another computer program and like any other computer program, it's a case of nonsense in , nonsense out when feeding data in or the type of questions you ask.
You have to be very precise with the questions you fire at AI or you can get slightly different answers when asking the same thing more than once, also different AI models won't all give the same answers.
