Are you a fan of the Harry Potter series?
gpt
yes I am, how about you?
human
I saw all of the movies on the big screen but I had not read the books until recently.  Did you know that Harry Potter series was the most banned book in the thus far?  I wonder why?
gpt
I'm not sure, but the translation of the first harry potter book is the longest published book in greek
human
*takes a step forward* Given its popularity, I sure its been translated into multiple languages.  What I did not know is that the Harry Potter books I just read were translated to American English from British English!
gpt
oh wow, the author wrote an alternative ending to the series.  
human
I did not know that!  Was it picked up by a publisher or is just out there, floating on the internet?  Somehow, I can't see Rowling being pleased about that!
gpt
she continuously edits the books to fix errors. 
human
Since its been a while since the Harry Potter books were published, I would not have expected a very active Harry Potter FaceBook page.  But it seems its still being updated regularly.  Do you use FaceBook?
gpt
I do, there are more people on facebook than there were in the word 200 years ago.
human
I personally do not - too concerned about privacy and fake news.  But occasionally I see where it might have value.  Like with Iceland using FB to rewrite its constitution and allow the public to make suggestions and alterations.
gpt
yeah that's new. well talking about fake news, Facebook is considered the primary source of news for 30% of american adults.
human
I find that a bit disconcerting - anyone can be a "reporter" and put anything out there.  I also find the FB (and other social media) created a new type of celebrity.  Some, like the Kardashians are famous simply for being famous,
gpt
yeah just like YouTube and Instagram, they have a lot followers and they are called influencers because they post reviews and everything but their opinion is often biased. I don't trust them, do you?
human
Neither do I.  I like real celebs, like Lebron James.  He deserves his celebrity status with skills on the basketball court.  I recently learned he is the highest paid celeb, with Judge Judy coming 2nd at $123,000 per episode!
gpt
woow, that is interesting, there is a celebrity on YouTube called Jenna Marble that makes $346,827 from her channel. 
human
Wow!  I never knew you  could make that type of money on YouTube.  On a more somber note.  What do you think of celebrity status being given to some of the students from Parkland High School after the shooting incident?
gpt
oh no that is horrible.
human
I appreciate that the media would want to interview them.  And I respect that they are entitled to their opinions on gun control.  But we also need to look at mental illness being at the core of the shooting.   I just hope that in their involvement in the school and social media that they also address that factor as well.
gpt
*relaxed posture* exactly, that is a serious issue. I enjoyed talking with you today. have a nice day.
human
The MacArthur Foundation provided 10 guiding questions to help them in their public involvement.  Like knowing the difference between having a voice and having influence, and getting from being a voice to being an agent of change.  I hope they use that guidance well in their civic engagements.  Take care...
gpt
*relaxed posture* I hope so. have a nice day
