I'm an electrician.

@nomenloony The problem is that people insist on using the name AI - when the correct name is LLM (short for statistics based guessing mashine)

@drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony only let AI do things you really could do by yourself, for saving some time. Control the result!

@nomenloony I am not an electrician and I can confirm (not from experience) this is very dangerous.

@nomenloony *nervous eye twitching*

We are so lost as a species.

@nomenloony
Yes, it is absolutly danger..i'm electrician too 🤟

@nomenloony loving the direct connection of line to earth!

@raineer @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony @blogdiva

Domain expert here: they aren't extremely effective for me in my field (programming) because to tell an LLM precisely enough what to do, I'd have to use a verbose English description, and I've already constructed the solution in my head in a more structural form that isn't words. Turning it back into words to tell an LLM what code to generate is a step backwards.

@nomenloony
love the detail that it labeled the drawing "Correctly Wired" to make it sound more official.

we were probably better off when diffusion was melting the letters together as it at least hinted that the output was an approximation.

@nomenloony
The only term that I can come up with is natural selection.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony At least it gives immediate feedback, by tripping the RCD.

@nomenloony That screwless cable grip in the photo is interesting. Does that work also after long time?

@nomenloony Oi! Funny to see the insides of a UK plug. Never realised it contains a fuse.

@ancientsounds @eliasp @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony Thanks to the „temperature“ that results in „more varied“ responses. ️

@nomenloony Not to excuse this BS in any way, but I wonder if it has absorbed things like this (seen at a client site recently, supplying a 500W appliance).

@nomenloony
I'm electrician too (in Finland) and I've never seen a socket with internal fuse. Funny and interesting how much practises differs. We also consider screw terminals as grumpy and old. Especially with minus/flat head.

@krijnsoeteman we are just that safe here. There's about 15 safety features designed into our plugs. It's just a shame they're worse than Lego when it comes to standing on one in the night.

@kuulman it's because the screws are brass. Being a fairly soft metal it doesn't take a countersink very well and cams out easily damaging the screw.

@nomenloony
Shocking! ;-/
Perplexity, which is the only AI I use, got it correct and provided references (as it usually does).
I wouldn't use an AI for anything without references, and then checking those myself.

@tim I've had interchanged neutral/earth before. It works perfectly well until you throw an RCD into the argument.

@nomenloony Skynet will never use nukes. The EMP has forced it into this type of trickery instead.
