The ground wire is connected to ground, per the diagram.
The ground wire in the diagram is not connected to your house’s grounding device. It is connected to the ground of the appliance, which has no such connection to the actual, physical ground.
I think this is the real takeaway. AI hallucinates bullshit all the time, but as you pointed out, people will say the wrongest shit you’ve ever heard with the utmost of conviction. I’m not sure which is worse tbh 🤦♂️

There’s a terrifying number of confident morons in this thread that have no business touching anything electrical.
Just like AI itself. The blind leading the blind. Into electrocution and/or a house fire.

No, the ground wire is connected to the metal casing of the appliance. It’s typically connected to ground via the plug.

Because it’s a diagram of how to wire a plug, not a power cable.
This is like expecting a diagram of an intersection to also have a road map of the entire area.
Also, as others have pointed out, that’s assuming the neutral isn’t broken.
