I've known of Eliza forever, it seems, and of Pygmalion nearly as long. But it was only comparatively recently that I learned the one was a reference to the other. I'm honestly surprised I never put that together on my own.
I had this on a monochrome Toshiba laptop from the 80s as a kid. Thought it was so amazing.
i am currently trying to implement a larger version of this in the Linux environment with better question an answering mechanisms.....although ill admit i have never gotten the memory function to work yet...hmm
i have that pdf and the scan of the original ELIZA paper somewhere
Anyone else remember running this from 8" floppies on an Altair?
One should port it to Telegram as a bot and get $25000 from Durov. Easy money.
