human
*body relaxes* Hello inhabitant of the planet earth. Are you human or chimp? Specifically, are you homo sapien?
gpt
*body relaxes* Ha! Homo sapien, I believe. Which, I suppose, makes me pretty old -- at least 50,000 years since I started acting "modern."
human
*eyes brighten* Have you lost all your hair? Most humans lost body hair about 240,000 years ago. If you are still hairy, you are quite old indeed.
gpt
*tilts head* We're getting somewhat personal. :-) But I guess we all pretty much come from Africa, chimps and humans.
human
*laughs* I am from the planet Doorlocke. We are hairless too. But wee have one difference with humans: There is no frequency of sound that causes us fear, unless you count the sound of an empty Pringles can, but that is less fear that sadness.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Ah, the sound of sadness is a sad sound indeed. Hey, Doorlockean, what happens when you get a rib shortened? We humans can regrow one just as strong as the original one, and in just two to three months.
human
*eyes brighten* We are snail-shaped, and without ribs, so, we've got that going for us. I guess we are earlier of the evolutionary tree that you are.If your history was viewed as a 24-hour day, humans would occupy only 1 minute and 17 seconds. We would occupy much less. About 4 bleems and a nibblet.
gpt
So, I have no idea where Doorlocke is. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Most of the surface, about 70 percent, is covered with water. We also have a moon.
human
A moon. I have heard of this hazing ritual. I come from a planet that circles a star that is so cold, you can touch it with your hand. It is called Cold Rock of the Sun. We do not/have not moon.
gpt
Cool! So, you believe your plant circles a star? We tend to believe the Earth circle the Sun. But a long time ago, folks here thought differently. They thought the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. Then a guy name Copernicus proved it isn't so.
human
Ah, great thinker... We have such a great thinker in our ancestry. He was the Great Snail-o-pithicus. He postulated that the universe may be one giant superhologram. Since we do not know what a hologram is, we blindly accepted the inane ramblings of this drunken master as fact. Now we are begining to suspect it was all fake news.
gpt
Interesting theory. I have heard of a theory that there is just one electron in the universe. I can't quite get my head around that, even with my human brain that is relatively large and is able to handle high levels of abstract reasoning.
human
*smiles* Your immense intellect has reminded me of why I have come to your planet. We need help with a profound mystery. It appears that the a region of space may be pulling galaxies outside of the known universe. I believe you call this location, "Cleveland"
gpt
Ha! Are you saying Cleveland sucks? I wonder if we shouldn't run in away then. We humans are among the best distance runners, at least compared to other animals here on Earth.
human
"Run away" That is a concept difficult for a space-snail to appreciate. Our scientists theorize that the universe evolves, much like species on earth do. Someday, all men will be like DOnald Trump, and all women will be like Nancy Pelosi. I fear our species will never achieve such advanced evolutionary stae.
gpt
I figured you might say something like that. Say, since you're an "extraterrestrial" by our definition, I was wondering if you have ever encountered an Earth ambassador? Back in 2010, our United Nations appointed an official ambassador to extraterrestrials in case they would ever make contact with Earth.
human
*eyes brighten* I met someone named "Buzz" who had a friend named "Woody" - Could this be your earth's ambassador? It was along time ago, back when our planet was new and each day was only 5.5 hours long, similar to when your planet was new.
gpt
*frowns* Gee, I don't know. Wouldn't surprise me. I don't know what you've heard about Earth, but it's not the greatest place, no thanks to us humans. For example, we've managed to already destroy more than 80 percent of all our forests.
human
*leans slightly forward* Or plant has no remaining forests, and our helium reserves are so low, our balooons no longer float. Before I depart, I must collect some of Earths remains helium supply before that disappears as well. I also want a Happy Meal.
gpt
We don't have much helium left, so go easy. Need any tools while you're at it? We humans are really good at using tools, more so than any other animal. We also can build fires and cook food. And snail-like creatures like yourself should be careful in that regard...
