This is the type of thing I want to use AI for. Beautiful tool, but this looks daunting.

I've used ChatGPT to generate chart wireframes in Mermaid. Basically 'create a mermaid chart for the whole year'.

Not exactly the same as data viz, but it worked for my use case, and cut out a heap of stuffing around and googling.

It would be interesting to see someone like Wes Bos build an LLM from end to his graph packages.
Yeap there is ChatGPT for this.
Yeah, definitely a fair critique. Actually, we have been researching the usage of LLMs to generate Penrose diagrams! We presented a poster on this at SPLASH 2023 in October: https://2023.splashcon.org/details/splash-2023-Posters/14/Ge... I'm not sure if Rijul updated his poster before the conference, but here's a photo of it from a different poster session in August (hopefully this Discord media link works): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1136758988751503381/1...
These days I just use ChatGPT for my LaTeX documents. Works great.
Maybe if AI learns enough graphing, it can figure out why the Amish live longer, Could be huge for humanity.
