I'm an electrician.

@nomenloony Had a play with AI for the Australian plug and for your prompt it gets fatally confused (literally) between Australian mains plugs and Australian car trailer plugs.

@nomenloony I would really not advise anyone to do anything with household current wiring based off a quick internet search, even if you find a reputable human.
I've fixed up plenty of things myself, but electricity can kill you and that's one to leave to pros.

@nomenloony So UK plugs have built in fuses? That's a good feature.

@nomenloony ah yes

Live blue and earth.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony I’m guessing it just grabbed an svg off wikimedia commons?

@nomenloony Turn any appliance into a space heater - briefly.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony ah close, some random company’s website https://www.phscompliance.co.uk/news/plug-wiring-diagram-101-understanding-labels-colours-and-connections/

@nomenloony So, you're telling me they put Buss fuses inside every plug??

@drahardja
Which is quite often it seems.
@skyfire747 @nomenloony

@nomenloony TIL UK plugs have a replaceable fuse in them.

@nomenloony
I see you have a special cord,
that you can use to meet the Lord,
'cause you don't care 'bout power safety, do ya?

He knows grass on the earth is green and yellow”.

@nomenloony Thank you for adding the ALT text! The ALT text sections helped me (a novice) learn that the "Correctly Wired UK Plug" diagram is NOT CORRECT.

@nomenloony
I feel sorry for people looking stuff up, now, with how many sites are just generated slop.

I rewired my bedroom as a teen with info found on Usenet. Accurate info from a real person with the knowledge I needed instead of a LLM running a predictive algorithm on what a real answer might be.

@nomenloony

Is…is that a dead short from live to earth?

@Kierkegaanks @nomenloony

it is a just a new form of natural selection.

@nomenloony some people trust LLMs with medical advice, imagine! It's not just crucial tech that's total slop, it is life threatening advice about drug use and such.
We need to curb in the use of A.I. - we need to make someone take responsibility for errors!

@drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony

Always wrong, in many ways levels and categories including wasting lives.

@nomenloony as German, I am missing the "Aderendhülsen" 🫣

@BoloMKXXVIII @nomenloony fair point. I wonder if there are any #makers here who would be able to design and build a retro fitting turbo encabulator interface unit?
