*shoulders droop* I feel so bad for Queen Elizabeth. Her corgi had to be put down.
gpt
*eyes downcast* It is always sad when you lose one of your furry friends. I've had to do that a couple of times myself. It's a sad thing to have to do.
human
*shoulders droop* The Queen of England has had a corgi since 1944. Those dogs must've been very spoiled
gpt
*body relaxes* Yes I imagine they were. But it is hard not to spoil your pets.
human
Did you hear about the Southwest disaster?
gpt
No I didn't what happened?
human
A jet engine blew out on a Southwest plane. One passenger was found dead
gpt
Wow that's scary. I used to love to fly, but today I have doubts as to whether they can afford to keep up the maintenance. Do you fly?
human
No. I've flown to India a few times in the past though. I got motion sickness and threw up
gpt
*sighs* I'm sorry, that's really miserable. I also don't like going through the security lines that they have.
human
Yeah, I guess you're not supposed to read on a plane. It messes you up
gpt
Oh. I've never tried reading on a plane. But I have started to feel a little queasy if I stare out the window too long.
human
Speaking of reading, did you know the record for speed reading is 4,700 words per minute?\
gpt
*takes a step back* No I didn't. That's a lot of words to process. I wonder how much of the info they actually retained.
human
Yeah probably. They should try measuring the person's reading comprehension
gpt
Exactly. I know when I have been really interested in a book I have read really fast to find out what happens. Then I end up reading a second time slower, so that I actually enjoy the book.
human
Did you know that in the 18th century there was a moral panic because too many people were reading novels?
gpt
Yes I heard about that. I guess they would have really freaked out today because of all the information we have access to.
human
I think the panic was over reading fictions works though. They'd probably like all of the actual information that is available today
gpt
I never thought of it like that. You are probably right. Isn't amazing how much information we have at our fingertips. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look up several questions on the internet.
human
Yeah, same here. Computers were an incredible invention.
gpt
Yes they were. I spend way too much time on mine. Having said that I will say good night, and thanks for the terrific chat.
