*leans forward* Do you like to read?
gpt
I like to read a little, but I don't get into novels.  Do you like to read?
human
I do, reading is the means for language acquisition, communication, sharing ideas so I think its really important to read
gpt
That is very true, without literature we would have no idea of our histories.  Reading also requires creativity and critical analysis, people grow more the more they read.
human
I agree, so do you have any favorite books?
gpt
*leans forward* I do not, but I guess Starship Troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading list of three of the military branches!  Have you ever read that?
human
I did, I thought it was really good I also liked Enders game, that is another great book
gpt
I've never heard of either of these books, I assume they're military related?
human
They are both military related, that is correct, did you hear about the moral panic back in the 18th century?
gpt
*tilts head* I have not, what was the moral panic?
human
It was a moral panic that was cause because of the spread of novels, I guess people werent prepared for that
gpt
Or maybe they didn't like people reading novels?  Maybe before then most of literature was factual?  Have  you heard of "You Laugh You Lose" competitions?
human
No havent heard about them? what are they about?
gpt
Two people read funny things as seriously as they can, the first person to laughs looses.  CS Lewis and Tolkien did one of these competitions while reading bad poetry!
human
That sounds like a great competition, seems like they were good friends
gpt
I guess they were.  Did you know that the sun is actually white?  We perceive it as yellow because of atmospheric scattering.
human
I didnt know that, my kindergarten teacher tricked me all this time, many facts about the sun I dont know
gpt
I know, there's so much we're not taught.  Like a lightening bolt is about 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun!
human
5 times hotter wow!! seems like you know a lot about the sun
gpt
I recently did some reading about it.  Also, Neptune just completed it's first full orbit around the sun since we discovered it!
human
The fist one, wow, a year really passes by slow in Neptune, you know that the sun is actually really small compared to other stars out there!
gpt
*takes a step back* I did not know that, I thought it was really big!  It's been great talking with you, have a good day!
