Honestly, this was the meta-gorilla in the data for me! I was so busy focusing on the LLM’s EDA that I didn’t really interrogate some of the other data analysis practices.

In general, I’ve steered clear of current LLMs for data analysis/description because they seem so highly influenced by choice of prompt and wording. They tend to simply affirm any language I use to describe the data initially.

To be fair, I’ve attended conferences and lab meetings where humans will refer to a any vaguely concave curved distribution as “mostly normal” :P
