Effective, prompt engineering with AI can significantly speed up the Python coding process for complex data visualizations.
By providing modular, precise, detailed instructions, GPT-4 reduces low-level coding completely, allowing you to focus solely on implementing your solution.
As an example, to prove this concept, we will access a dataset containing global happiness data.
In four (4) hands-on modular steps, we display global happiness results on a map in plotly dash, AND create two interesting data visualization charts to tell a detailed story about the data.
Let’s get to it.
The first step involves loading…
