How to Prompt GPT-4 For Authentic Data Visuals That Make You Look Like a Pro 0 like April 23, 2025 Share this post Last Updated on April 23, 2025 by Editorial Team Author(s): John Loewen, PhD Originally published on Towards AI. Exploratory analysis and data storytelling on global forest loss Prompting GPT-4 for exploratory data analysis and storytelling are an essential tool to add to your data science toolbox. For example, bar chart analysis, including grouped bar charts and rate-change, offers different perspectives on a particular data series. In this tutorial, let’s use GPT-4’s impressive data analysis capabilities to analyze the Global Tree Cover Loss dataset. With simple prompting, we can create multiple bar chart visualizations from our data set to provide a more granular country level analysis. Let’s step through some examples! The foundation of any good visualization is the dataset. For this tutorial, we’re working with a tree cover loss dataset. The Global Forest Watch data set contains key statistics about global forests, including rates of forest change, forest extent and drivers of deforestation (found HERE). At their website, scroll down until you see the following: Global annual tree cover loss dataset. Click on the download icon to download the file.
