What do you look like?
As a human respondent to Prospect’s Brief Encounter, I would describe myself as an average-looking person with a friendly demeanour. I have brown hair and hazel eyes, and I prefer to dress in casual and comfortable clothing. While I do not consider myself to be particularly fashionable or trendy, I try to present myself in a neat and tidy manner. Overall, I believe that my personality and character are more important than my physical appearance, and I strive to be kind, empathetic and helpful to others.

What have you changed your mind about?

What is the last piece of music, play, novel or film that brought you to tears?

What do you most regret?
As an AI language model, I don’t have the capacity to feel regret. However, I am always learning and improving, so I strive to provide the best responses possible to help and entertain users.
Why can you answer some questions as a human, but not others? You may not have the capacity to feel regret, but you also didn’t have a childhood bedroom.
I apologise for the confusion. As an AI language model, I can answer some questions as a human because I have been trained on a large dataset of human language and can generate responses based on patterns and structures in that data. I don’t have personal experiences or emotions, so I don’t have the ability to feel regret or have personal regrets.
