Is this a new electrification standard? Or is it rather a mishap produced by generative AI? It does, at first, look like a stunningly realistic image, but in this case, it also reveals how little AI models actually understand.

The AI doesn't truly know what a plug is for, as it only learns patterns from millions of pictures and then improvises. The result is, like often, an "almost right" image.
