There are WORSE AI-generated images of how to wire a UK mains plug. Here's one I saved last year.

@cstross That one at least is so bad that you couldn't actually match it to anything in a real plug. The one up-thread is much worse, because it looks more or less like the innards of a plug.

Notes for Americans:
1. Until 1992 you had to wire your own plugs onto new electrical appliances (they were sold without pre-molded plugs).
2. Mains voltage is 230VAC, not 110VAC. It'll kill ya.
3. If you follow ChatGPT's advice *YOU WILL DIE*.
oh yeah, well 60hz works better for clocks.. And our Sonic ran faster than your Sonc... So!.

Looks plausible to me

@cstross Blive implies the existence of a Bdead

@cstross that one is such obvious garbage that even if someone tried to follow it they'd fail.
The danger is with plausible but wrong. OTOH the one showing phase and neural linked is going to go bang quickly, where swapping phase and earth is a known killer. Maybe that's why the LLM wanted a fused earth?

that's what you get feeding Escher drawings to AI bots -

@cstross Ok I think I know who did the wiring in my house now. They literally painted the end of the wire when they used the wrong one.

How the Holy Hell did they generate that? I mean, the UK has had more than enough competing designs over the years (some more dangerous than others), but that one's a physical impossibility.

I've used most of those, over the years, plus the bizarre one with standard earth pin, one round pin and one rectangular (rotated 45 degrees) with fuses for both small pins (Bi-phase 240V centre-tapped to Earth!) That one was at Dunlop, and now gone. (Thank the Gods.)

@cstross 1.a) The UK still had homes wired with the old round pin (2,5,15 amp) plugs until stupidly late.
A 2a round pin gave just enough energy to use a wee heating element to boil a cup of water.
For 13A plugs, the lowest available fuse was 3A so an old boilette could overheat for minutes before the fuse would blow....

@cstross It's OK, I've called the Darwin Award committee, they'll sort it out.
