Note that since GFCI receptacles interrupt both grounded and ungrounded conductors, the neutral connection must be on the line side.

It is incorrect because it clearly shows the neutrals wired to the line (or HOT side) of the receptacles. Look at the slots - smaller slot is ALWAYS the hot side.

Sorry. Red and black are basically the same. White and black are not and the illustration shows the white and black wires on the wrong side of the recpt.

Besides that the neutral and hot are on the wrong side!
Not if you are in South America

The terminal where the neutral white wire is entering the receptacle is
normally where the hot blk wire enters. very confusing for a trainee. lol

Well trainee, get this. In probably over 50 years in this trade I never looked at the slots to determine where the hot and neutral go. THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT ARE THE SCREW COLORS!!! NOT SILLY PICTURES! Silver is neutral and brass is hot!!
I'd like to see what you do with 3 and 4 way switches...
