Hello, do you use your phone much?
gpt
Yes quite a bit. Do you as well?
human
I do quite a bit, at work and at home. Did you ever use a rotary phone though?
gpt
I have. I heard once that it was originally developed by an undertaker.
human
Yeah quite something. And also the reason why NY's area code is 212
gpt
Oh interesting - what's that about?
human
*raises eyebrows* It was the quickest number to dial with a rotary phone
gpt
That makes sense. I was thinking that 112 or 211 might be shorter still, but wasn't sure what the rules were back then.
human
Yeah. And di you ever use a phone book?
gpt
*calm eyes* Yes I have, but there a rare commodity these days.
human
THey are for sure. And if they get stuck together you cannot separate them
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Haha. I was reading the other day about the winner of the $560 million powerball. The winner was in a big court fight to remain anonymous.
human
Yeah that is strange. DO you enjoy reading
gpt
I do. I don't read as many books as I used to, although I read a good 40-50 articles a day.
human
Oh wow that is very impressive. Did you ever read Shakespeare's work?
gpt
A few of his plays, back in High School and as a college Freshman. I think the last one I read was "The Tempest".
human
Nice. Did you know that he invented a lot of word and even some names?
gpt
*hands at sides* Yes and he had some interesting word play. He sometimes would purposely make grammatical mistakes before key plot points to heighten awareness of his audience.
human
That is genius. And he lived at the same time that Pocahontas did
gpt
Interesting, I didn't know that. He's also indirectly responsible for introducing the Starling infestation in the US. Apparent there was some guy who wanted to bring over each of the birds mentioned in his plays. Thanks!
