It was fascinating how they tied all of those diverse topics together, Disinformation, Smoking, Google
gpt
Do you  think the US anti-smoking campaign does fight disinformation?
human
*laughs* Yeah, I'm usually not one to say the US government is doing an effective job at most anything, but in this case, they've managed to stigmatize smoking to an incredible degree. Then again, the risks of smoking kind of speak for themselves.
gpt
It's amazing that the campaign has been ongoing since 1964 and still there are new smokers.
human
I think teenagers have a sense of thinking such things don't apply to them, and that's the majority of the new smoker population. Once they realize they are actually fallible, the addiction has already taken hold.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Do you think the disinformation efforts of the US government are succeeding in quelling fake news?
human
Not really, I think that news media in general is pretty corrupt, all the networks are owned by a handful of people, I believe it 
gpt
What about with Google?  Any effect on fake news there?
human
I'm sorry, I pressed enter before I was done. I think google just relies on algorithms, which makes them less prone to delivering fake news and more prone to delivering results that are nonsense/content farms. It was interesting to learn that  the tech companies want to avoid being categorized as media companies.
gpt
I know that a single google search requires more computing power than it took to send armstrong to the moon, so maybe you're right.  Google went down for 5 minutes in 213 and 40% of the web traffic went down with it.
human
*takes a step back* How about 86% of the land in Nevada being government land? That blew my mind for some reason, I wonder if Vegas is included
gpt
Nevada has a lot of land that is vacant and used for military testing.  A man in France managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice impersonating a government official.  Let's hope that doesn't happen in NV.

I hear all this stuff about Russia and other countries trying to spread disinformation on social media, apparently being described as a Category 5 hurricane, but I don't know that I've ever come across such a thing. Have you?
gpt
*tilts head* There's a lot of news about them using social media to spread information about political candidates is that what you mean by 'a category 5 hurricane'?  
human
Yeah. Apparently, the DHS Chief, Kirsten Nielsen, described Russia's impact on our election that way
gpt
Yes, I think they have actually proven that.  I don't know how they are going to stop it but they are trying.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Did you know that That 70's Show was redone word for word in the UK?
gpt
No, I didn't.  Why did they do that?
human
*body relaxes* To be quirky , I suppose. All in all, I hope that the anti smoking campaign succeeds
gpt
Yes.  The US government and especially the Surgeon General's office have been very dedicated.
