I dare you to use ChatGPT to wire a plug.

This is why AI is absolute horse shit.

And as ai doesn't understand that people warn others about AI errors, AI thinks it is right.. 🙈🙈

When you check dossiers over time, you will find that errors get much more attention -as they have to be corrected-. Just skimming the subjects can lead to wrong (opposite) conclusions.

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.

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.

No, a duplicate explanation of what the code is doing is not what comments are for.

Comments are more for "why" one method or choice than another, sometimes "why not", than "what".

Except doc comments, which are closer to spec i.e. "what". The code itself is "how", and it doesn't necessarily come via a verbal description in natural language.

comments have to be about the why but also the WHERE, when you're patching. you want to remember not only why you are patching, but where you got the patch. this has saved my ass soooo many times when doing Drupal upgrades. unfortunately, due to the modularity, not all patches for modules can be replicated with their default installation, so keeping a comment on the patch saves me debugging time.

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)

Chao-c'

@Jam123 But in a way, it repeats the "Facebook effect", where all content, never mind how crazy or fake, looked equally neatly formatted, typographically correct and somehow... professional. It was such a big difference, compared to wild aesthetics of eg. older Geocities, which made even serious content look like collage by madman.

And in the same way: all stuff presented by AI looks neatly formatted, visually consistent... yes, only looks, but how many people really analyze it or compare it?

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.

My understanding of AI ( which is none really) is that it generates a solution, answer, whatever is being sought, from a vast source of data.
So then , is the vast source it collects it from, wrong to begin with. Or at least the majority is wrong, being non human the IT machine can't see that, so it assumes it's giving the correct answer or solution to the request and so the human who requested it believes it to be correct because it's IT.

I'll stick to human to human for now.

i hadn't zoomed in or read the post or alt text and am a *very* unsophisticated user when it comes to anything electrical, and at first glance i thought the correct chart was on the left and the AI-generated pic was on the right

once i read the text body and inferred that the thing labelled so confidently "correctly wired" must be the slop, then read the alt text and confirmed it was so, everything made so much more sense

AI infographics are such an awful case of "we can lie faster than you can fact-check"

as a kid in the UK, I was at my aunts house and a power plug had its back removed. I plugged it in, with the palm of my hand on the contacts, to see what would happen. Massive explosion, kicked across the room. There's a blue/green colour I saw that doesn't exist. I can taste it, still, today. I'm not even entirely sure I survived.

🤯 What on earth? Jesus, apart from this insanity to private persons, I don't even want to think about the harm that the many who don't think things through or don't check the parrot's results before using them will cause to other people just because they place their blind trust in the all-knowing garbage dump. Think life-support machines, critical infrastructure, etc. 🫣
