ELIZA has almost no intelligence whatsoever, only tricks like string substitution and canded 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.
Note: Eliza is dumb! This is
common knowledge. Please don't write to me telling me she's dumb, or
how to fix it. If you don't like the way she works, you can change the
code yourself. Just view source on this page to see the javascript, and
save it to your hard drive. Then do a search for javascript
documenation, and you should be able to make Eliza act any way you want.
