human
Hi, do you like to read?
gpt
I do likie to read, do you?
human
*raises eyebrows* I do too. Did you know that reading is a form of language processing?
gpt
*takes a step back* Oh yes, I'm sure. In the 18th Century there was a moral panic because of the spread of the reading of novels.
human
*lips slightly parted* that's crazy! wow. I never think about there being history with reading. At one time, Cs Lewis had a competition to see who would laugh at bad poetry.
gpt
Oh, was that the competition with Tolkien too?
human
Oh yes! Him as well! I wonder what the winner won?
gpt
Yeah, that would be a sight to see. Do you know the world record for speed reading?
human
*takes a step forward* I do, actually, it's 4,700 words per minute! That's wild!
gpt
Yes, it is! Did you know Starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five US military branches.
human
No I did not, that's very interesting. And Ender's Game was suggested for the US marine corps to read as well.
gpt
Oh, I didn't know. Do you like poetry?
human
*eyes brighten* I do! One of my favorites has always been The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
gpt
*body relaxes* Did you know he only received $9 for the publication of the poem?
human
I can't believe that! have you heard of reverse poetry? Thats where when a poem makes a certain point when reading it in one direction, but the opposite point when read in the opposite direction.
gpt
Yes I guess when poetry is read backwards it is inspiring.
human
Yeah. Did you know that the javanese alphabet is recited, it forms a poem?
gpt
*eyes brighten* That sounds cool. Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome poem!
human
That's impressive! Nearly all of the characters from the Hobbit were named after an old Icelandic poem.
gpt
Well, humans are really talented. Although there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.
human
*body relaxes* Wow! It's been nice talking to you, have a good day!
gpt
*smiles* Yes, nice talking to you too! Take care.
