Its giving them credit for placing high rather than just winning championships. A team that gets 4th 30 times in a row is likely better than one that gets 1st once and then never hits the top 12 again.

Theyre all failures because college is supposed to be for education, not sports

I'm guessing the lines that completely flateaud below Michigan since 2010 are Texas and Miami?

Edit: just saw OP's source data. It is

The University of Georgia would prefer you to use a moving average.

Notre Dame- the most overrated team of the 21st century

Not arguing with the data, but the qualification of the data.

They're still the third most successful college football program of all time, as shown in this graph.

"Why does everyone say Muhammad Ali is the greatest boxer of all time wtf the guy hasn't won a fight since like 1978"

You can clearly see ND plateau on the graph don’t get mad at OP for the data

I know FSU dominated in the 90s but Bama in the 10s just owned everyone. Crazy

Use of "successful", I suppose.

Notre Dame is 7-15 in their last 22 bowl games.

What part of this data are you disagreeing with?

The fact that people misuse it as a data source is not an excuse for you to knowingly misuse it, doubly so without providing any context to indicate that you know the data is basically bunk. This is fundamentally irresponsible behavior. Consider how your graphic will be interpreted by different audiences:

• People who do not know how ChatGPT works (most people): wow, the AI can figure out how complex a topic is and how certain it should be about it! These are definitely real capabilities, and not an illusion. Thank you for reinforcing my belief that it is near-human intelligence!
• People who do know how ChatGPT works: these numbers are essentially meaningless, this graphic will only serve to mislead people

> Whether it "should" be able to assign meaningful numerical scores to things like this, it sure was willing to.

Yes, so will random.org. Should I make a graphic of that too? Perhaps I could imply that it is sentient.

But Notre Dame hasn't actually won a national championship in over 30 years. They are the most overrated team in all of sports.

A lot of very confident points that you've posted, you'd do well as an online AI.

1. ChatGPT is most definitely a data source now and (along with similar such tools) will be used as such more and more going forward, so it's good to examine how it approaches making data. Whether it "should" be able to assign meaningful numerical scores to things like this, it sure was willing to.
2. Agree and it's even more concerning how it does it with data. Take a look at the end of the notebook and you'll see at the end how it hallucinates with the data it gives me. Again, people are going to use these tools like this, so we should be aware of how it responds.
3. I think it's revealing not just of the biases of the corpora and creators, but also of the controls to avoid controversy that makes it evaluate certain topics as more "uncertain".
4. Good point. I struggle with the way this subreddit is designed to showcase a single chart since so many of my charts are part of larger apps or documents.
