Talk to Eliza


 

ELIZA emulates a Rogerian psychotherapist.

ELIZA has almost no intelligence whatsoever, only tricks like string substitution and canned responses based on keywords.

Yet when the original ELIZA first appeared in the 60's, some people actually mistook her for human.

The illusion of intelligence works best, however, if you limit your conversation to talking about yourself and your life.

wondering: 
Like any observatory, the present one qualifies and sharpens its significations in a labile relationship between the occurrence of the observation and the careful and subtle delineation of those observations - the exegesis of the mapping.
