Had a lot of fun with my stats students today. I gave them two data sets. One from a random number generator, the other was one I made up that was not random, but designed to look random. They were able to figure out which one was fake.

Then we had ChatGPT make the same kind of data set (random numbers 1-6 set of 100) and it had the same problems as my fake set but in a different way.

We talked about the study about AI generated passwords.

"Why don't you just load a library to find the mean and SD?"

Because I'M OLD. I like to write my own function. I do it for integration sometimes... kids these days.

@futurebird I found out quickly that the entropy tools from NIST and Fourmilab don’t work well with a data set that’s log2(6) bits per element.
