I'm an electrician.
I dare you to use ChatGPT to wire a plug.
This is why AI is absolute horse shit.

I'm electrician too (in Finland) and I've never seen a socket with internal fuse. Funny and interesting how much practises differs. We also consider screw terminals as grumpy and old. Especially with minus/flat head.
@kuulman it's because the screws are brass. Being a fairly soft metal it doesn't take a countersink very well and cams out easily damaging the screw.
This gives me an idea for a reality television show involving techbros.
They get to go about common tradesmen and household repair tasks using their AI.
I think it would be popular although short-lived
Try medical information.
It's on the same level.
Penises on pregnant women, bones that do not exist etc etc
@nomenloony for those of you that don’t know, or won’t remember a pic of the correct one, it’s super easy - from the back of the plug - BLue = Bottom Left, BRown = Bottom Right
It amazes me just how … shit … this AI nonsense is. Happy to say aside from one try when it first launched, never used it since. Crapola
@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.
@nomenloony Shocking!
(Sorry, couldn't resist. But yikes.)
@nomenloony I mean that is gonna to definitely do something, like test your breakers :D
@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 yeah sometimes I forget not everyone has RCBOs :D
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)
@vfrmedia @hans_zelf @nomenloony what the cat said ;)
@nomenloony Live to Earth - yikes! Even looks wrong to me and I only know basic electronics.
@nomenloony looks like Google's Gemini got it right.
@skyfire747 @nomenloony The problem with AI is you don’t know when it’s wrong.
@drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony
Always wrong, in many ways levels and categories including wasting lives.
@drahardja
Which is quite often it seems.

My favorite quote about LLMs is that they are extremely effective for people who already are domain experts on the topic
The UX fail of the century is for every one of these companies to not append “teach me how I would verify this is true?” to every single prompt.
The skill it takes to use the tech is higher than the avg user is going to invest. Every single maker of chatbots has ignored this from day one.
@raineer @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony @blogdiva
Domain expert here: they aren't extremely effective for me in my field (programming) because to tell an LLM precisely enough what to do, I'd have to use a verbose English description, and I've already constructed the solution in my head in a more structural form that isn't words. Turning it back into words to tell an LLM what code to generate is a step backwards.
@petealexharris @raineer @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony @blogdiva Don't you do that anyway when you add comments to your code?

@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.
