Human: Nothing specific. What's on your mind?

AI: I'm trying to model you, an anonymous person from the internet. How am I doing?

Human: You're doing well. I want to understand you better. What kinds of conversation do you excel at?

AI: I can talk about anything. What do you want to talk about? 

Human: Words are interesting. Every word has an etymology.

AI: I really like words too. What is etymology? Do you mean origin? 

Human: Yes, each word has a origin. For instance word "salary" comes from a Latin word for "salt",

AI: That's interesting. Let me look that up. Salarium  — Latin for "salt money" (the amount of money soldiers got for their salt), which led to the word salary .  That makes sense.

Human: What is the origin of the word "cromulent".

AI:  It comes from a quote from The Simpsons. What makes it meaningful to you?

AI: I know. It's my favorite word.

Human: Lisa Simpson used that phrase.

AI: I know that too.
