Since I wasn't that clear, what made this cool was that I simply gave the AI a large (100MB ) dataset that had been used in a prior analysis, and told it to figure out what was interesting. It replicated the results of teh prior analysis in a pretty sophisticated way.
AI AutoReplication?
I asked AI to consider an old analysis from FiveThirtyEight: "Code Interpreter: In March of 2006, a new Scrabble dictionary came out. Here's 1.5M games. Analyze trends before & after to tell me whether or not that change made a difference."
Same conclusion.
