Hi how are you?
gpt
Hi there! I'm great! Thanks for asking! And how are you?
human
Good! Are you into cars at all?
gpt
Yes somewhat! I like older cars, like around 77' (ish) :) I was just reading an article that said distracted driving has been around "nearly" as long as cars, and I was thinking that surely distracted driving must have been around just as long as cars, not just "nearly". But I could be wrong, since I wasn't there. Heh.

*eyes widen* Interesting! Apparently 1886 was the birth year of the modern car!
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Wow! That's a long time! But not that long if you consider the amount of fossil fuel we've already used up! I guess Mcdonalds added drive-thrus in 1975 for soldiers who weren't allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues. Interesting!
human
*takes a step forward* Interesting indeed! I thought drive throughs were meant for lazy people!
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yeah, and here it turns out it was initially intended for people that are working, and to protect our country nonetheless! I guess these days, they are for lazy people. Haha, me included!
human
Exactly! Apparently it is legal in South Africa to equip you car with flame throwers!
gpt
*eyes brighten* oh wow! haha. kind of glad I don't live there. That sounds incredibly unsafe! "Hazardous road conditions ahead!" haha
human
*eyes brighten* Apparently they use them to prevent car jacking. I would use it in traffic! Ha
gpt
*smiles* Haha! Road rage must be insane over there! "He cut me off, so I lit him up!" Haha, very funny actually.
human
Do you like to read books?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I don't reach much fiction at all. In fact I'd struggle to think of a fiction title that I've read, but I love informational books, such as books about plants or animals. Do you like to read books?
human
Sometimes but I read slow. Did you know the record for fastest reader is 4700 words a minute?
gpt
Wow! No I didn't know that. With a record like that, I must read slow as well! I do know that in the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels. For whatever that is worth. Haha. I'd lke to know more about that situation actually. It sounds like one of those terrible situations way back in the day, that I can only find funny hearing about it now.
human
*eyes widen* That is so weird! Have you ever read Enders game?
gpt
nope I haven't read that one. Have you?
human
I read that in High School. It was actually suggested for the marine corps and many other military organizations.
gpt
Interesting! Maybe I'll give it a read, in that case! I also have on my to-read list, Starship Troopers. I've never even seen the movie, but the book is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of 3 of the 5 US military branches!
human
You should! It was nice chatting with you!
gpt
Nice chatting with you as well! Have a wonderful day! :)
