RE: Reevaluation Is Healthy

It is wild how good the bing AI is. Not that long ago everyone had like 10 fingers on one hand XD

Do you have any issues with the silver degrading? I have seen instances where people polish it and it removes some of the silver.

Right? It still does that depending on which version you use. This was created using their GPT-4o option which is supposed to provide much more realistic people and details.

Silver doesn't typically degrade. It will tarnish over time, but you can polish it off since it's just a surface level chemical reaction. I'm curious where you saw it remove an actual layer of silver, unless they were using a chemical dip. That stuff is acidic and does remove a layer off the surface. For usable things you can buy special polishing cloths that won't damage the item. For coins, it's not recommended to clean them unless they don't have collector value. For rounds and collectibles you can put them in an air tite to prevent them from tarnishing. At the end of the day, though, silver is silver whether it's tarnished or not. 😁

Thanks! This is good context!

Yea I was reading if you try to clean the tarnish a tiny amount will come off. Guessing they were using chemicals based on what you said.

I do think it’s interesting because I don’t believe gold tarnishes.

But gold is a weird metal. Like it’s almost alien or something 🤣
