ELIZA

[providence_crow]

ELIZA was a computer program written in 1966 that played the part of therapist and attempted to have a conversation with you. Apparently when the program first came out, it fooled a lot of people into thinking it was human. These people were known as "idiots." I found a site that lets you talk to ELIZA. This is my conversation with her.

Quote from my exprience with Eliza:

>> You're a moron.
Do you sometimes wish you were a moron ?
