Eliza was the first software to simulate human conversation. It was developed in the mid-1960s by Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist at MIT. The most famous version mimicked a psychotherapist, thus hiding its conversational incompetence: “Men are all alike.” “In what way?” “They're always bugging us about something specific or other.” “Can you think of a specific example?” “Well, my boyfriend made me come here.” “Your boyfriend made you come here?” And so on.
Eliza是首个模拟人类对话的软件。该软件是由麻省理工学院(MIT)计算机科学家约瑟夫•魏岑鲍姆(Joseph Weizenbaum)在上世纪60年代中期开发的。该软件最有名的版本模仿一位心理治疗师,从而掩饰其对话能力的低下:“男人都差不多。”“在哪个方面?”“他们总是用这样或那样的具体事情烦我们。”“你能给个具体的例子么?”“嗯,我男朋友让我来这里。”“是你男友让你来这里的吗?”等等。
