Hello how are you.
gpt
*leans forward* Well, thanks, but tired of being targeted by scammers, who prey on people my age!
human
I can see how that would make a person tired. Maybe you could google how to get them to stop.
gpt
Fortunately I know enough to hang up, but lots of people don't. Cost consumers over $50M last year. Lots of tricks add up to lots of rip-offs. Heard of these schemes?
human
I have heard a little about them. It's messed up how people treat each other these days.
gpt
Agree. Why would scammers want you to purchase gift cards? (Latest scam technique).
human
I'm not sure. So do you usually use google when you search the internet.
gpt
Yes. Biggest search engine. Sure wish I'd invested in Google when they went public in 2004! You?
human
*leans slightly forward* I wish I had to. a google search requires more computer power than it took to send neil armstrong and company to the moon.
gpt
Isn't that incredible? More power than sending 11 astronauts into space! Started, like most folks, I guess, by using Google maps. You?
human
I use it for everything. Looking stuff up usually. My kids use it or their school work. Stuff like that. It really is amazing you have all the knowledge in the world at your fingertips.. 
gpt
Amazing, yes. But controversial, too. If you were looking up maps, say, in Kashmir, the region both India & Pakistan claim, Google would tailor its maps to show only the country (I. or P.) where the browser is located. Selective information. Can be scary. Do you agree?
human
It certainly doesn't sound good. I guess goole used goats to mow the grass instead of hiring people. I think they could aford to give someone a job.
gpt
Certainly could. Do use another business giant, Amazon?
human
*body relaxes* All the time. Especially around christmas. I get all kinds of deals for the kids .
gpt
Me, too. Do you remember, by chance, when Amazon was only an online bookstore?
human
*smiles* I don't remember that. I remember when Jeff Bezos built that clock that is supposed to run for 10000 years though
gpt
Yes. Frivolous thing. Amazon's 1st customer spent $27.95 on book. Owner Bezos later named a building after the guy. What types of products do you tend to buy?
human
I usually buy electronics on there or electronic accessories.
gpt
My son does, too. Last question: do you think our government is doing enough to limit the power and influence of huge electronic companies like Google and Amazon?
human
I think that it is up to somebody to come along and challenge those companies or they are going to be the biggest. I dont think the government needs to be in it.

That's an original viewpoint! Good to chat with you.
