I'm an electrician.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony The problem with AI is you don’t know when it’s wrong.

@nomenloony the mysterious 4th wire that nobody ever mentions

@hans_zelf @nomenloony @cyplo @vfrmedia If you managed to connect that, it would blow something, rapido. If there's no circuit breaker, my guess is the ring fuse and I've seen cases where the company fuse blows as well!

@drahardja even AI itself doesn't know, since it doesn't understand, conceptualize, think...

It just replicates and generates what, statistically most likely, matches the recipients expectation.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony

@nomenloony
This makes me think in how many people have actually died somehow by a LLM...

@nomenloony

Uh oh!

@nomenloony I'm not even an electrician, and I could see the one of the left was wrong without the one on the right.

Why? Because my dad taught me how to wire a plug.

ChatGPT is for people who can't do, don't want to learn, and don't care if they get it wrong

@nomenloony That's appalling. AI simply lacks intelligence. It's bloody dangerous.

@nomenloony this is one of my normal tests about how crap AI image gen is.

My thread here: https://bsky.app/profile/tautology.uk/post/3m6jjagucrk2f

I did a more recent one with maps which was properly hilarious.

@nomenloony A hint to AI users:
Don't feed your AI on magic mushrooms

@nomenloony I like how the cable grip doesn't actually grip anything.

@hans_zelf @cyplo breakers operate quicker than fuses, so often the breaker will trip but the fuse will be fine. It's not the case if you've got an old BS-88 fusebox though with the rewireable fuses and wire.

@nomenloony Wait till you see the code it generates!

I’ve been using it professionally for the last 6 weeks or so to “yolo” an app in work. Using Claude but I guess I’m spending 30-40% of my time cleaning up the code out generates.

@seb321 it's two/one phasing

@barnesmaurice @cyplo @nomenloony
You could tell your LLM of choice to instruct your 3D printer to produce something that fits...

@nomenloony yeah sometimes I forget not everyone has RCBOs

@nomenloony This is a practical, physical analog of what is actively happening in the software space... with the full support and giddy encouragement of industry.

@nomenloony I work in a high school and have a wired plug with every mistake I could think of as a demo, "find the problems". It's kept in a locked box, and has the earth pin twisted so it can't easily be used, because it's fucking lethal.
This is somehow worse.

@nomenloony
Horse shit? It's absolutely shocking.

@nomenloony yes, true! But great quality of images
