Eliza - Chat with early NLP computer program on Facebook Messenger

@__tosh there are several ELIZA scripts available on the internet, some are Javascript implementations, some in other languages. The advantage of developing chatbots (in contrast to apps) is, that you can program it in whatever language you like! Here is the description of ELIZA on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

@electrobabe @__tosh no really, did you build your own AIML interpreter? or adapt the existing java one? trying to understand how you adapted the concept of reductions.

@natalie_korotaeva yeah, the original script was a bit ... dull ;) it didn't even understand "hey" or other contemporary slang ;). so I pimped it with some phrases from Mica, the Hipster Cat Bot https://hipstercatbot.com also I added a feature that when you request a "picture" (or it appears randomly) a Rorschach test pic is shown ;)

@_stritti_ the original script of ELIZA is in English. Automated translations are not working very well...

@electrobabe I copied the script in the 80s from Amiga Magazine by hand into my Amiga 500 🤖 yes translation is a issue, maybe combining with google translate nowadays?

@_stritti_ wow! manual copy from a magazine! :D autotransation is unfortunately still not very good and also expensive... so we stick with English for the time being

@pupeno hehe it's super productive to face your innermost thoughts! :)
