This pretty petfectly illustrates the problem with using genAI for anything factual.
To someone who had no idea how a pressure regulator works, the illustration could actually be pretty convincing, since it’s presented in a coherent way and superficially looks like it knows what it is doing.
But do a little fact checking, and it’s wrong about nearly all of the important points. In fact its kind of impressive at just how thoroughly wrong it is.
Anyway, thank you, I’m going to save this image to whip out next time a coworker responds to a technical email with copy/paste from ChatGPT.
As someone who knows nothing about how they work, this looks believable.
even with the inlet not letting anything in and the outlet arrow being a structural part of the regulator?
It gets dumber the longer I look.
moral of the story: don’t rely on AI for plumbing. or anything
I mean… the outlet is very, very regular pressure. Just need a barometer to know what the pressure is.
ok. but how is there any pressure when the inlet is completely closed off from the entire system…
The inlet does nothing, so we just need to measure atmospheric pressure. XD
Damn AI is so advanced i can’t understand this level of design… XD
High pressure, indeed.
well there are arrows at least. it got that right
