![]() ![]() MoniGarr was fascinated by the adults’ conversations (a group of communication specialist friends that had served in the Vietnam War) about the ELIZA Bots they were programming using the software engineering documents & books they were using and sharing amongst themselves. The only books of interest in their home were C programming books that were being used with a Tandy TRS-80 from the local Radio Shack in Massena NY. MoniGarr, the author of AIGeneration.blog was a toddler in the mid 1970s who was first learning how to read. The source-code is of high historical interest because it demonstrates not only the specificity of programming languages and techniques at that time, but also the beginning of software layering and abstraction as a means of achieving sophisticated software programming. The MAD-SLIP source-code was found in MIT archives and published on various platforms, such as. Many early users were convinced of ELIZA’s intelligence and understanding, even while Weizenbaum’s insisted the contrary. ELIZA is capable of engaging in discourse but it does not converse with true understanding. Many academics believed the program can positively influence the lives of many people, particularly those with psychological issues, and that it can aid doctors working on such patients’ treatment. ![]() He was surprised and shocked, that people attribute human-like feelings to the computer program, including Weizenbaum’s secretary. ĮLIZA’s creator, Weizenbaum, created the program as a method to explore communication between humans and machines. ELIZA is one of the first chatterbots (“chatbot” modernly) and one of the first programs capable of trying the Turing test. The most famous script, DOCTOR, simulates a psychotherapist of the Rogerian school (where the therapist often reflects back the patient’s words to the patient), and uses rules, defined in the script, to respond with non-directional questions to human inputs. The ELIZA program is originally written in MAD-SLIP, pattern matching directives that contain most of its language capability provided in separate “scripts”, represented in a lisp-like representation. Eliza was created to explore communication between humans and machines, simulating conversation with pattern matching and substitution methodology that gives humans the illusion of understanding, with no representation that can be considered actually understanding what is being said by humans and software programs. ELIZA is a natural language processing computer program created in 1964 to 1966 at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. ![]()
