I'd heard similar stories of customers buying goods they knew they only needed temporally that they simply returned afterwards and obtained a full refund for. It does surprise me a little that stores don't have mechanisms in place to prevent this being abused, it's hard to see how it couldn't be a significant financial drain for them. FWIW "no questions asked returns" aren't really a thing in Australia from what I've observed. But not having a receipt isn't usually an issue if they can find the payment on their system and it matches your CC# either.

AI-based image generation is surely already good enough that a single digital photo can't count as evidence alone. But your scenario doesn't make much sense to me - are you suggesting AI will have reached a point it's stored and trained on images of almost everyone's faces, to the point it could accurately/undetectably substitute a blurry face with the detailed version of an actual individual's face it happens to think is similar? I'd be far more worried about deliberate attempts to construct fake evidence - it seems inevitable that eventually we'll have technology to cheaply construct high-quality video and audio media that by current standards of evidence could incriminate almost anyone the framer wanted to.

Spinach is one of the most consumed veggies globally (#8 or #9) and has no emoji. And WhatsApp at least has no emoji results for "chili"/"chilli" - you have to search for "pepper". But there's no emoji for ground pepper!

Not unreasonable to argue that something like Docker or k8s is more "system software" than an application.

None of the above - I'd explain why I think the way the code was written was problematic (e.g. function logic can't easily be readily comprehended in one go, consider how you could break this down). But to a large degree my "tone" and level of detail would depend on the seniority of the author.
