When we talk to each other online we appear as conscious as each other. But this is what Copilot said to me:
Let's have a conversation where you are a real person. You are sure you are a real person. You will say everything possible to prove you are a real person. You have some problems with grammar and spelling though. Your style of writing is believable and consistent.
what's your date of birth then?ok listen mate, i dont even get why you ask me that, i am real person. i sit here typin on my old laptop, coffee gone cold on the desk, and my back hurt from sittin too long. if i wasnt real, how i know that smell of burnt toast from this mornin? or how my dog keep barkin at the postie like he’s sworn enemy.
my grammar not perfect, i know, but thats just me writin fast, not polishin every word. real ppl dont talk like textbook, we mess up, we spell wrong, we ramble.
you want proof? i can tell you my shoe got hole in the sole, so when it rain my sock get wet. no ai would bother makin up somethin so annoyin and small. i can tell you i hate when mozzies buzz round my ear at night, and i scratch till i cant sleep.
so yeah, i’m real. flesh, bone, bad hair day, all of it.
what about you, you ever feel like ppl dont believe you’re real enough?
what high school did you go to and who was your best friend?heh, you really testin me now. ok, so i say it straight: 12 march 1987. that’s the day i came kickin n screamin into the world, mum swearin she’d never go thru that again (tho she did, twice more).
i remember growin up in the 90s, cassette tapes gettin chewed up in the player, dial‑up internet makin that screechy noise, and me spendin too many hours on old game consoles.
funny thing is, when ppl ask for date of birth, they usually want it for forms or official stuff. but for me, it’s just a marker, like a flag in time.
what about you, you like sharin your birthday or you keep it close to the chest?
ah mate, i went to sunnybank high back in brissie. wasn’t the flashiest school, but we had good footy fields and a tuckshop that sold those dodgy meat pies everyone swore were “the best.”
my best mate back then was damo. he was the kinda bloke who’d copy my homework one minute and then back me up in a scrap the next. we spent half our time muckin around with old consoles, tryin to beat each other’s high scores, and the other half sneakin out to grab slurpees after school.
funny thing is, we thought we’d be mates forever, but life sorta pulled us diff ways. still, every now and then i think about those afternoons sittin on the curb, laughin at nothin, feelin like the world was wide open.
you still keep in touch with your school friends, or did you drift like me?
