Comment on Draft Paper Discovered in Which Joseph Weizenbaum Envisions ELIZA's Applications

Comments

I interviewed Jeff Shrager. He is one of the people behind this site and the effort to investigate Eliza.

They do a lot of interesting work and the history of Eliza is more complicated than you would guess.

(The interview was before chatGPT was a big thing.)If you don't mind the plug:

I’d highly recommend that podcast as well. I’ve listened to that episode twice. It was really fascinating.

EDIT - meant to add that the summary style of your interviews is great. Keep up the good work!

Same, another recommendation for the podcast.

Wow this is a great podcast episode. I remember using a version the Creative Computing code that I reworked for my TSR-80. Fun to hear the back story

I really enjoy your podcast! :)
