What do you know about the earth?
gpt
*takes a step back* Funny you should ask, I was watching Cosmos on Netflix and learned that Earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago! I wonder what people looked like back then?
human
Probably strands of amino acids or something
gpt
Haha, good guess! When Earth was formed, the day was only 5.5 hours long, how come one day is 24 hours now?
human
Who knows? Perhaps the rotation of earth changed?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah, I'm already feeling out of time in 24 hour day periods, I can't imagine living on on 5 hours a day, I need my sleep!
human
*relaxed posture* Well sleeping for almost 3 days straight sound very restful though
gpt
A little too restful! More than 80% of the Earth's natural forests have already been destroyed, why do you think they are being destroyed at such rapid rates?
human
Well logging, clearing farmland, increasing human population to name a few
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Some people believe that it has something to do with extraterrestrials! The UN even appointed an official ambassador to extraterrestrials in case they ever made contact with Earth.
human
I mean given how vast the universe is, other life is a high possibility. However people should not shirk responsibility for destroying the natural forest by simply blaming aliens.
gpt
I agree we must preserve the environment since over 7.6 billion humans live on earth and depend on its natural resources, are you doing anything to preserve the environment?
human
Well my own small part. I trying to limit my use of plastic, be conscious of the business practices and sourcing of the items I use, and I helped plant trees to combat desertification in the desert
gpt
That's awesome! Where do I sign up to help plant trees? I watched a couple of documentaries on Netflix about that which led me to watch other ones and I'm a guilty contributor of taking up half of peak internet traffic with my Netflix binges.
human
I mean netflix is a convenient service. Considering Reed hasting built a multi billion dollar company after racking up a 40 late fee, I think the tradeoff was worth it
gpt
Very well worth it! I was also a victim of those substantial late fees, I wonder how Blockbuster feels now about declining several offers to buy Netflix at a discounted rate of $50 million dollars, how would you feel?
human
Well they no longer even exist to regret it lol
gpt
*eyes widen* That's true, but as much as people love the services Netflix provide, Netflix is in huge debt in order to develop new content, they're at least two billion in debt!
human
Well most companies are leveraged, incuring debt today for better success tomorrow
gpt
True, is that how you feel about robots being more prevalent these days? Some people fear that with robots being able to perform tasks like deboning a chicken, these workers jobs would be taken over.
human
*hands at sides* Well ideally with robots doing more work, people would be able to laze about, but clearly that is not the direction we are heading so yes, I think robots will one day be able to do all our jobs. Whether something like the matrix will happen is debatable but considering people made google's test ai into hitler within the week, it is a possibility
gpt
Yeah, it's so scary to think about. Have a good day!
