Scary moment, today:

I watched a qualified medical professional look up a medical fact and with serious life-affecting consequences take a search engine's boxed LLM result, unchecked, as the definite answer.

@cstross

Inspired by the last thread and @tautology , I actually went and asked #Bing how to wire #Yorkshire plugs, combining both ideas.

#MicrosoftCoPilot first suggested that I ask it about the differences between Yorkshire and U.K. plugs. So I did that. MS CoPilot in response confidently and authoritatively bullshitted me that 'Yorkshire plugs' are a name for older #BS546 electrical plugs.

Champion! (-:

Joking aside: It's the medical doctors who trust this stuff, which I've actually seen happen, that are scarier.
