human
Hello, how are you today?
gpt
Hello! I'm great! How are you?
human
I'm doing great as well!  Did you know that George H.W. Bush fought during WW II and nearly died?
gpt
*eyes widen* I knew he had said he was in the service somehow, but I didn't know that he actually fought and almost died. That's a surprise to me.
human
It is amazing that he lived for so long considering he was a WW II vet.  He outlived his wife!  The day after she died he contracted an infection that spread to his blood and he had to go to the hospital.
gpt
Oh wow! Is he still alive?
human
He just died not too long ago.  I can't remember which year but very recently.
gpt
*leans forward* It's interesting when a spouse dies, and then their spouse dies shortly after. I've heard that it can be called death due to heartbreak in some cases. Are you interested in sharks at all?
human
I have noticed that as well.  Very frequently one spouse dying leads to the other spouse dying shortly thereafter.  I am interested in sharks!
gpt
*takes a step back* Sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs and trees! Isn't that amazing?
human
That is amazing that they have been able to survive relatively unchanged for so long.  They seem to be very well adapted to everything except humans.  Did you know that since they don't have rib cages, they literally crush themselves with the weight of their own bodies on land out of the water.
gpt
No, I didn't know that. I guess it makes enough sense considering they aren't supposed to be out of the water. I'm betting a human took them out of the water and discovered that fact. Sadly. 
human
I think you are right!  Unfortunately, sharks have a bad reputation, especially after movies like Jaws.  Sharks have been known to rescue sailors just like dolphins do. 
gpt
Yeah, I'd like to see a shark rescue a sailor! I've heard they can be trained like dogs to bark. I'd like to see that also!
human
Seems crazy doesn't it?  I live relatively close to the beach so you hear about the shark attacks every once in a while.  It definitely makes the news!  You hear about a friend of a friend, etc.
gpt
Yeah, I've seen a lot of aerial footage, and I would say they aren't trying to eat humans, they just sometimes hang around the shore. And besides, the ocean is their home, not our playground. I think humans should take more responsibility for the risks we take, like swimming in the shark's house basically. 
human
I agree.  A lot of the shark attacks seem to be the shark going after it's primary food source (seals) and getting confused.  I remember a group of swimmers and the slowest one in the pack got attacked.
gpt
Yeah it would be easy to confuse a human with a seal. So man sharks are tortured in the name of Shark-fin soup. I hope humans become more aware of their suffering and do more to stop it. It's neat that they are closely related to rays!
human
I didn't know that!  Did you know that great white sharks come together in the middle of the Pacific ocean in a spot called the white shark cafe?
gpt
Really? I wonder why they meet up there! Very interesting. Maybe they are mating?
human
Could be!  Seems like a long way to go but great whites are definitely deep water and cold water sharks.  Yet, most of the shark attacks around here are great white sharks even though they really don't come here that often.  I think they get hungry and come into shore where they can hear and sense lots of activity from humans.
gpt
It's amazing they've been around for over 420 million years! That's mind blowing! Hey it was great chatting with you!
