The data analysis plug-in falls over for even basic CSV file parsing. I tried it a couple times and it was a nonstop cavalcade of “sorry, I had an error.” It’s far easier to get it to write the Python, R, etc code for whatever analysis task you want accomplished.
- simonw 3y agoInteresting - my experience has been the opposite of that, I've found that ChatGPT Code Interpreter / Advanced Data Analysis is wildly effective at parsing anything I give it. Not just CSV either - I've uploaded random binary files and told it to figure out what they are and it often gets there after churning through a few iterations.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoMy experience was trying to get it to generate some charts from some fairly basic CSV inputs. It failed numerous times and would change the chart formatting when it was asked for a revision (e.g. from horizontal to vertical), even though that was not what was being requested. I hate doing matplotlib stuff, so I was hoping this could be more automated, but prompting it to create and tweak the corresponding code to do this seems to be far more efficient. It did seem to do OK when prompted with both the CSV file and some code for chart creation, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the plug-in, IMO.

- spdustin 3y agoYou can upload wheels...just ask ChatGPT to manually install them. And note that Advanced Data Analysis pods are running Python 3.8
