In which I discuss Bill Monroe's philosophy of life (and his horse) with a computer

 This is actually my third conversation about bluegrass with a GTP-3 text-davinci-002 program , but it seems like a good place to start this blog (I'll post my conversations about. Ralph Stanley and about the Stanley Brothers in the coming weeks).  

The text from the AI is completely computer generated and left here unedited.  I dd omit some questions and answers when the computer got repetitive.   

So, fasten those belts and prepare for a bit of wisdom and strangeness...
