So, yeah. About that. A few weeks ago I was hiking with my wife. We saw another couple from out of town in the parking lot and chatted shortly and went our separate ways.
The trails here are somewhat interconnected and we ended up running back into them at a lookout. They recognised us and asked if we could ID some berries they ate.
I guess they asked ChatGPT what they were and it told then raspberries, so they ate them. They were in fact not raspberries. They were thimbleberries, which luckily are also edible, but still. They thought they tasted off, but chalked it up to just being wild vs store bought.
