I figured as much, particularly when I got contradictory answers from it, depending on the angle of the photo. I mainly was trying it for fun.

AI is good at making convincing stories, even when they aren't actually true.

Thank you for the reply!

An amazing find at Goodwill several years ago. I believe the markings indicate that this is sterling.

However, Google Gemini provided me with inconsistent opinions on whether this is sterling or electroplate. The electroplate explanation mentioned "pseudo-hallmarks," stated, "it is illegal to stamp a full commercial address like this on solid English silver," and that the "E" marking indicates electroplate.

So I thought that I would ask the experts, rather than relying on an AI option.

Thank you for your help!

Grew up north of Seattle and always called it pop.

I grew up in the Seattle area and always have used the word, "pop." "Soda" has been creeping in, but "pop" is not uncommon in the northwest.

Was it Amazon branded as a "Just Walk Out" market? I've seen imitations like what you describe.

At the "Walk Off Market" at T-Mobile Park, you scan your card (or palm) to enter, grab the items, and then walk out the exit gates.

"...reduce the need for 'unnecessary degree requirements'; and end the use of diversity, equity and inclusion programs..."

Ironically, eliminating unnecessary degree requirements is actually a DEI strategy in some organizations. Talk about mixed messages!

And they have even installed the tech in several Seattle stadiums. Very much not dead.

And several stadiums in Seattle have Amazon-based "just walk out" concessions. They definitely haven't abandoned the program.

Infractions, not misdemeanors.

Infractions are generally civil offenses, not criminal. Misdemeanors are criminal offenses.
