Everytime someone ask AI for wiring diagram, Medhi's mom will go slap them with a slipper.

It's almost as though an AI designed to make pictures of kittens with boobs has no understanding of how electricity works.
DO NOT TRUST ANY AI TECHNICAL DRAWING!
What the actual fuck. The prongs aren't even oriented correctly. And the 'live' wire is just tied to ground.
So glad we're burning down the rainforests for this.
I was curious and found we do actually have plugs with those pin orientations.
It's 240v though, which means two live wires on opposing phases shorted together and connected to the appliances ground wire... Even better.

I plug in my arc-welder.
I exit existence.
No no no, you just get assigned to the great omni pattern buffer, may O'Brien find and rematerialize you as soon as he is able =P

NA 2 Prong, Type A

NA 3 Prong, Type B

'Earth' = Ground = the 3rd, round prong
You can maybe see the AI has kinda sorta merged elements from both of these.
The main problem is that uh... notice how in these real diagrams none of the lines are looped into each other, they are 2 or 3 distinct lines that feed into whatever is being plugged in...
... whereas in the AI diagram... it just forms a continuous loop.
Which... basically means that what the AI labels as 'neutral' and 'ground'... aren't.
Doing that would instantly cause a short cicruit and potentially immediately start a or multiple fires, trip circuit breakers, etc, depending on the voltage/amperage avalaible to the outlet this AI 'death-plug' ie connected to, and how long it takes the circuit breaker to trip.
... thats my layman understanding, corrections from any actual EEs would be appreciated if I've mucked something up.
Just a heads up, those diagrams are also insufficient on their own. They don’t indicate which line goes to the wide blade and which goes to the narrow blade on the plug. Getting that backwards on some devices can cause switching and fusing to be on the wrong line and defeat certain circuit and safety protections.
Much as I encourage people to fix their own things, wiring AC mains connections is one of those “if you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t” kind of things.
This won’t kill anybody. It’s not wired to anything but a ground wire.
Maybe the point is rather "It generates random bullshit diagrams and if you rely on them, things will go wrong". This one might not be lethal, but some other design it produces might.
For people enjoying LLMs being shit at everything, the Vagina Museum has a whole series of them failing at making pictures about pregnancy:

I think this was the first one:
Unrelated question, why is this post a full fucking screenshot of some dude’s phone uncropped?
This is fucking fantastic.
Just as a PSA, black wire to brass screw, white wire to silver screw, bare or green wire to screw on rounded prong. Also, black wire is hot, white is neutral, green is ground.
I mean what the fuck am I even seeing?
and also, spicy ground.
I get that it's a bad idea to trust AI to something so important. And that it's probably going to shock or kill you.
But since I'm not an electrician, ELI5. What's wrong with this diagram?
In addition to what the other person said, there's a wire here connecting the two prongs together. This is a short circuit and would at least blow a breaker and at worst start a fire.
This picture is so frustrating. There's no apparent source for the "live" wire. But if you tried following this with your real wiring (white, black and green do exist), you would be connecting your hot, neutral and ground lines all together. I doubt it would kill you at 120 V but it would definitely trip your breaker the moment you plug it in, and almost certainly make some nice big arcs.
JUST. WHY. There are so so many freely available photos already online that don't need to be generated AGAIN
With deeper integration of AI into search machines, such as Google, the distinction between AI generated and real search results becomes more and more complicated.
This is a plug, not an outlet; and it shorts the live + neutral pins together. There is no ground pin present, though a wire labeled ground is also being shorted to the live+neutral pins. (basing 'pins' on shape/colour and ignoring that at least one is in the wrong position)
If this doesn't immediately trip the breaker when plugged in, it's because you have an open neutral; and now whatever's on the end of that ground wire (typically exposed metal) is live.
I wouldn't say connecting the ground wire of an appliance to the hot side of an outlet is very safe.
Why are people up voting this? You're talking utter nonsense in multiple ways.
You will trip a breaker or 2. But you won't die. This is an exaggeration. Nevermind it wouldn't even fit a plug? If I ask it to do the same, it creates the following schematic.

Not saying you should use any LLM to create something critical.
That's a text response, this post is about image generation. Gemini is okay at finding stuff on google to show you, it's basically like a 'Let me Google that for you' machine. The problem is when you ask it to make something new.
Behold, the image response I got using your prompt:

If this truly needs to be said, a giant meteor is too good for us. I get that people are stupid as fuck but Jesus, trusting your life to AI at this point is next level idiocy
Doesn't this just bond neutral to ground? It's definitely illegal and will kill you if some other device has a short and makes ground hot, but at least it's not a suicide cord
this shorts live and neutral, ground pin is not even present (different shape) otoh if you need help wiring a plug, you probably shouldn't
It's just a really exciting circuit breaker tester...
"You will die".
Sounds like AI is bringing back natural selection.
