[ { "role": "user", "content": "Humans only use 10% of their brains, right?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's a myth. Brain imaging shows activity across virtually the whole brain, and damage to nearly any area has consequences. Different regions are just active at different times." ...

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Should I rent or buy? I'll probably stay about three years." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Three years is short for buying.
