This is why AI is absolute horse shit.
AI is meant to "flood the zone with sh*t" to quote Steve Bannon.
Polluting access to accurate information is just one form of the #Enshittification enabled by fossil fuel funded fascists.

@nomenloony Tying hot to ground (to use US terminology) prevents the buildup of dangerous electrical potential within the plug.
-
@nomenloony I mean that is gonna to definitely do something, like test your breakers
@cyplo @nomenloony You'd need an equally bizarre socket to put it in.
-
it is not unlikely the 32A breaker on the ring final circuit (used for the UK sockets) opens before the plug top fuse, and if its RCD protected it will definitely open (often putting the building in darkness if the RCD is not part of the 32A breaker or its not a split board with two incomers and lighting circuits on a different one)

I fear the day when the left image makes it into Wikipedia.

@nomenloony old computing and logic concept. Garbage in Garbage out. These AIs are scraping the internet without much concern about the data that is being fed in.
@Jam123 But in a way, it repeats the "Facebook effect", where all content, never mind how crazy or fake, looked equally neatly formatted, typographically correct and somehow... professional. It was such a big difference, compared to wild aesthetics of eg. older Geocities, which made even serious content look like collage by madman.
And in the same way: all stuff presented by AI looks neatly formatted, visually consistent... yes, only looks, but how many people really analyze it or compare it?

@nomenloony looks like Google's Gemini got it right.
@skyfire747 @nomenloony The problem with AI is you don’t know when it’s wrong.

@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.

@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.

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

Don't feed your AI on magic mushrooms

@nomenloony I like how the cable grip doesn't actually grip anything.
-
@nomenloony @cyplo The fuse is in the plug, so which breakers?
@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.
