I agree - the problem here is probably less that the AI makes the mistake and more that it’s just really easy to make this mistake whether you’re AI or human. It’s probably true that the AI selects more correlations that would be obviously irrelevant to the end user though. I, like others doing SRE work, spend a fair amount of time trawling through these types of graphs and it’s very common to see something that looks like a correlation, look closer, then dismiss it due to noise. Time series are also very much subject to MTUP[1]. Something that looks like a correlation or problem at a certain zoom level becomes totally normal behavior when you zoom out, for instance 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifiable_temporal_unit_problem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifiable_temporal_unit_pro...
