Jon UdellI asked Claude and ChatGPT to react to this chart.
Both initially applauded.
I told them to read Tufte and reconsider.

I told them they missed the main flaw.

"The representation of numbers, as physically measured on the surface of the graphic itself, should be directly proportional to the quantities represented."
If you try this I'll be curious to know how it goes.
