*leans slightly forward* Good evening there. Do you like dogs? I love them because they're truly man's best friend.
gpt
That's nice. I'm more interested in the practical contributions they can make, like hunting and protection.
human
Thats cool too and still very important. Likely more derived from their wolf days!
gpt
Yes, it is amazing how they have been bred over time to adapt to human life. Some dogs in Moscow can even use the subway!
human
Smart! Istanbul has a vending machine that releases food and water for the city's stray dogs!
gpt
That's humane. Did you know that dogs actually drink with the underside of their tongues?
human
*eyes widen* Yeah I saw a youtube video of that once. Pretty interesting. Also contrary to popular belief dogs can indeed see colors!
gpt
Yes, they just can't see as many as humans and some other animals. They can eat starchier diets than other canid species, though.
human
I wonder how they can tolerate that starch better than others? I think it's cool that dogs vary widely in shape size and colors.
gpt
Yes, dogs have way more variation than people. They can also learn over a thousand words and can reason better than chimps.
human
*laughs* That is so cool. I also like Google because they prefer dogs to cats just like me.
gpt
Maybe it's because they have such a large vocabulary and learning haha. Dogs can even have "Eureka moments" and enjoy problem solving.
human
That is so cool! Also kind of interesting that there are 12 different blood type that a dog may have.
gpt
That must make transfusions complicated. My least favorite part of dogs is taking them to the vet in the car. Do you like cars?
human
True! Yes cars are so awesome and often taken for granted I think. Just in the 20th century they came into global use!
gpt
So much has changed in about 100 years, but the basic idea remains the same. It's an interesting series of steps from replacing the horse and buggy to eventually becoming electric self-driving vehicles.
human
Very well said. I really appreciate Karl Benz because he is regarded as beginning the inventor of the car and essentially giving birth to it in 1886!
gpt
*calm eyes* Yes, he would be very proud of the vehicles on the road today, although I'm sure he wasn't thrilled that it took Western Europe longer to adopt the car than the US.
human
Yeah I always wonder why it took them so long. The US welcomed the good old 1908 Model T with open arms!
gpt
Yet somehow all of the innovations in the auto industry like small vehicles and electric cars seem to be adopted in Europe earlier than they are in the US these days, although Ohio has made it illegal to warm up your car, I suppose to reduce emissions?
human
Yes that is a great hypothesis. Or to decrease car theft? But I really enjoyed our conversation today. Enjoy your weekend :)
gpt
Yes, you, too. Hopefully you find a barn full of classic cars like a man in NY did!
