Notes for Americans:
1. Until 1992 you had to wire your own plugs onto new electrical appliances in the UK (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*.
@cstross I do these threads every so often. My most recent one was on my Bluesky where I got four LLMs to draw maps progressively getting more zoomed in (the World, Europe, UK, Yorkshire, York).
Things got worse each time you zoomed in, sometimes with "memories" from the previous image. My favourite was the attached version of Yorkshire.
I'll do another one in a month or two.

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

@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.

@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.
