The AI put the table over the data on my chart. I saved the fix as a skill.

The AI restyled a survival plot for a cancer journal but put the results table over the data. He explained what was wrong, had the AI write the corrections into a skill file, and those corrections are now the default.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI restyles his survival plot and puts the results table over the data
  2. He tells the AI what is wrong
  3. The AI writes the corrections into a skill file
  4. The corrections become the default

Why it’s worth knowing

The mistake did not just get fixed once. He turned his corrections into a skill file, so the AI now starts from the fixed version.
