Youtube has some pretty good videos about statistics and youn could fo a search for an explainer on statistics. #outlier #statistics
"Outlier". Suppose that most college students drink 2 or 3 cans of soda a day, but there is one person who drinks 20 cans of soda. When you plot number of soda cans consumed , you will see most data points clustered around 2 or 3, but then another point much further away at 20 cans.
Just FYI: in statistical terms, an "outlier" is an object or event or person thst is part of a group or category and is really different from the rest of your group, but is probably still in the same category. The word "outlier" is used because if you plot data points, that data point is far away.
Hmm. It is possible that SNL will fire live actors and just use AI generated shows. So much for filmed live in front of a studio audience. Get ready for another actor's strike. #AI #actors #possiblestrike
It seems like some people are using AI to generate SNL skits that never happened. I don't watch SNL that often, so I am not sure. But there is a lot of AI hacking happening on YouTube. I assume the creators and producers of SNL will sue and ask Youtube to remove any AI generated dupes.
