Do you enjoy reading?
gpt
It's actually one of my favorite pastimes. I definitely would have been part of the "Moral Panic" had I lived in the 18th century, because I love novels
human
I like reading since it promotes deep exploration of texts and can help build worlds in your mind
gpt
I mean, even the military has reading lists. I heard three of the five branches have added Starship Troopers as their first sci-fi novel
human
I think ender's game is another recommendation for the military. I loved it in high school
gpt
I haven't read it, but I should add that to my list. I wish I could read anywhere close to the world record held by Anne Jones. 4,700 wpm would get me through a lot of books
human
*calm eyes* I wonder how much of the 4700 she actually digests
gpt
A skill like that would only be helpful if you have a photographic memory. Though, I wouldn't want to remember all the terrible poetry if I entered a "You Laugh You Lose" contest like the ones C.S. Lewis and Tolkien would hold
human
*relaxed posture* This is kind of a digression but lebron james has photographic memory so he can replay every game he has ever played
gpt
That's impressive! I wonder if he has interest in reading. Everyone likes a good fiction book
human
Is fiction your favorite genre?
gpt
Most of the time. It would be interesting to find the wiki that ranks fictional characters. Not all of them have powers and abilities
human
Do you prefer fiction or fantasy?
gpt
It depends on the author. I think mostly fiction. I should tru to find the writing Edgar Allen Poe did that has a cyborg
human
So did Poe create the concept of cyborgs?
gpt
He's the oldest known example, so I guess the credit goes to him
human
I mean it is a shame how credit isn't always fairly awarded. I remember there was a seclusive scientist who found a dozen or so elements decades before other scientists yet since he never was too public about his research, the credit went to those scientists
gpt
Wow. I wonder if that was the beginning of science fiction. There was a comic in the 50s that a judge tried to ban because one of the characters is black
human
That judge should have been banned from court instead
gpt
It's possible that he was. Do you ever read fan fiction?
human
*calm eyes* Rarely. Do you?
gpt
Not really, but the fan fiction that Julius Caesar wrote about Hercules would likely be an interesting read
