How's it going? Do you like cats? I have one myself but have no idea which one of the 70 breeds it is
gpt
*eyes widen* I have 3 cats! I didn't know there were so many different breeds!
human
Yea they're pretty cool. They have a cat cafe near my house where you can buy coffee and spend time with cats, I wonder if it's the same as the cat cafes in japan and taiwan
gpt
*takes a step back* I had no idea they had those around! Do you like to read too? The fda burned six tons of literature in an act of us censorship
human
Yea, I wonder what books the fda burned, makes me want to read them more now
gpt
*lips slightly parted* me too! This sounds fun though. There is an annual literature contest that challenges writers to come up with the worst possible opening sentence to a novel. I wake up in the morning...
human
*body relaxes* hmm, that sounds like a fun challenge to come up with the worst possible opening sentence. I'd just write" k, whatever"
gpt
:) that might work! In 1953 sir winston churchill won a nobel prize, and it was in literature, not peace. What?
human
That's interesting, I wonder what Churchill wrote about that got him a nobel prize, wonder if it was about WWII
gpt
Maybe so! I should look that up. This is wild! Architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture were olympic events from 1912 until 1952.
human
I never knew that, sound's interesting, I wonder if poetry was ever an event, Poetry does come from a Greek word
gpt
I think it's from Poiesis. Could see Poetry battles in the olympics?
human
Demetri Martin would probably earn a medal, I cannot even wrap my head around trying to write a 224 word palindrome poem
gpt
Thats crazy! This would be so cool to hear! Poetry has a long history, dating back to prehistorical times with the creation of hunting poetry in Africa.
human
*raises eyebrows* That's pretty neat but I wonder how researchers could even figure out it was poetry and how it rhymed
gpt
maybe this will help answer it. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa can be found among the Pyramid Texts.
human
Lol, hylographic poetry on pyramids, now that is insane
gpt
*smiles* They call it griot court poetry.
human
interesting, it's pretty crazy there is poems that are depressing read forward but inspiring read backwards, that must take a lot of time and creativity to make
gpt
I had no idea! I wouldn't even think about reading them backwards! The Japanese alphabet, when recited in order, forms a poem
