Very good data graphic by Financial Times: tied in tightly to news report, and directly labeled like a map, with label colors matching data line colors. Readers go straight into content. And readers don’t have to memorize a unique one-time color code lurking out in the margin.

Unless and until agents really do work at expert level, the benefits of AI use are going to be contingent on the skills of the AI user, the jagged abilities of the AI you use, the process into which you integrate use, the experience you have with the AI system & the task itself
