*takes a step back* did you know in the 1700s there was a moral panic about how many poeople were reading books haha
gpt
Hi! No I didn't, that's interesting. Are you a huge book person?
human
no I'm not personally, I listen to a lot of audiobooks though, I think reading is boring what about you?
gpt
I think it certainly can be! The idea is interesting though, there's no concrete laws in reading.
human
ya, I tried to speed read once, I couldn't retain any information, it's crazy that the record for speed reading is 4700 words in a minute
gpt
*raises eyebrows* But the thing is it's not a representation of intelligence! Andrew Johnson never even went to school yet was able to learn how to read.
human
*eyes widen* that is crazy, have you seen the movie enders game? I guess it's on the recommended reading list of the marine corps, I didn't like the movie personally it seemed anti-military to me
gpt
No I haven't! I wouldn't even think they have a recommended list like that. Reading is surprising some times. It's definitely improved a lot too, in the middle ages silent reading wasn't even a thing!
human
ha it would be horrible, imagine going to a library to read but everyone was reading out lout! how could you concentrate?
gpt
*laughs* Exactly! Good thing they didn't have those back then. Maybe libraries aren't the answers, an elementary school once replaced desks with "reading bicycles" and test scores were amazing.
human
*raises eyebrows* that is a good idea, have you seen Starship troopers? that movie is violent but its based on a book, and apparently that is also on the militarys reading list
gpt
I have not! It seems like an interesting adaptation though. I should get the book on Amazon, they seem to have invested a lot into the reading experience.
human
*leans forward* ya, did you know that the owner of amazon built a clock in a mountain? apparently it will run for 10,000 years
gpt
Wow, that's some type of innovation for sure! He seems to care a lot about improvement, they actually have a separate website just for returned items to sell!
human
that is crazy, one of my favorite things about amazon is that they deliver packages on sunday now, which is awesome
gpt
*smiles* They certainly are committed to the user experience, even their name is meant to imply they have everything from "A" to "Z".
human
*opens mouth slightly* ya that actually makes sense, it's crazy that an amazon warehouse worker can talk about 15 miles a day just for work, thats a workout!
gpt
*eyes widen* Poor guys! Anything for the best product I guess right? They even got a patent on 1-click buying, that doesn't even seem allowed.
human
ya I'm shocked that exists, I think it's crazy that amazon owns imdb, I didn't know that, they are buying up everything
gpt
*takes a step forward* Oh I'm sure they are, they're stepping out of their lane all the time, they even developed their own font!
