Member-only story
Lifehacker recommended some lists of questions to ask older people at Thanksgiving. I asked GPT-2 instead. The results are rambling, self-contradictory, obliquely disturbing, and vaguely racist — just like what you’d get if you asked your actual grandparents these questions!
Did you go to college?
Yes, I went to Eastern Michigan University, where I graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering in 2009. I work for Raytheon as an R&D engineer.
How did you decide to become a father?
My girlfriend at the time asked me if I wanted to be a father, so I was more than ready. We were expecting to be a family for about three years before we had a boy, but something ended up coming along, and I became a father in a very short amount of time.
What did you study?
In the visual arts, I graduated from the School of Visual Arts, a conservatory in the City University of New York, which I then attended for six years as a graduate student before completing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Printmaking and Drawing with an emphasis in American contemporary art at the College of Charleston, where I was taught by renowned Art Directors Barbara Betcher and Larry Evans. I also studied at the School of Architecture, which in part led me to attend the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2005.
Do you wish you had the opportunity to go to college? Do you wish your parents had spent more time working to provide for your family…
