I'm an electrician.

@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.

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

@Paperposts @nomenloony
OLD UK was
Live = Red
Neutral = Black

Old AC/DC Radios & TVs had chassis to Neutral (Maybe) and no Earth. All external metal was isolated.

USA was
Live = Black
Neutral = White
During 1940s USA radios were imported that had a dropper in the mains cord to reduce 240V to 110V. They might have had a capacitor from mains (maybe neutral or live) to metal work and / or chassis. Rated for 110V not 240V mains.

@serk @nomenloony

That number is already non-zero.

@nomenloony well, the insulation was correctly labelled, so you know, the glass was half-full, right?

@nomenloony True! ChatGPT gave me these two monstrosities! I also used the AI ALT-Text generator in IceCubes and it didn’t notice the weirdness.

@nomenloony @JamieR
and the Green and yellow (daffodil) reaches high..
