I asked ChatGPT how to wire a standard UK plug using the new canvas feature...

That looks more complex than when I last wired a plug in the UK. Probably, 30 years ago! I think I was about 5 years old when my Dad started to teach me this stuff. I remember him using silver foil to make connections too. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

@anniemo
It is just a little bit wrong so don't worry. Plugs are still the same as when you last wired a plug. Impressed that you were taught how to do this at 5 though.

You want wires?? We got blive wires, we got breen, ghost, yeutral, all the wires of the rainbow

Until we understand what AI is doing and how it works, so we understand the limitations, we should be careful about how we use it.

If you've got a vague understanding about how the generative AIs work, you'll know why it produced this image.

@guigsy There are about 8 billion people on the planet, give or take. What proportion of them are in a position to understand AI to the point that they even know there *are* limitations, especially given the intensely dishonest marketing its proponents push it with?

People are going to die over this foul technology, whether from eating toxic mushrooms because a book someone "wrote" with degenerative AI hallucinated toxic mushrooms into edible ones, or because people wire up plugs wrong.

Iโ€™m particularly fond of the wire that changes colorโ€ฆ twice. LoL

Iโ€™m pretty sure the blive doesnโ€™t go there - is AI trying to kill electricians?
