The ELIZA Meme

Jürgen Hubert

First Post
I've just come up with an idea for a new meme for blogs, LiveJournals, and so on:

---------------------------

This meme is for all women who have ever received creepy Instant Messages:


1) If you receive a creepy Instant Message, copy and paste the last message line into ELIZA and hit "Enter".

2) Copy the answer ELIZA puts out into your Instant Message field and send it.

3) Repeat this process with the later answers of your IM "partner" until he gives up. Or until it ceases to be amusing.

4) Post the chat log into your Journal for the amusement of others.


(If you want to know more about ELIZA, take a look at its Wikipedia Entry - basically, it's a program written in 1966 to simulate Artificial Intelligence.)

---------------------------------

But feel free to post your "results" to this forum, too!

Considering its rather liberal interpretation of "profanity" I can't imagine most conversations will get very far past

Sorry, I don't appreciate profanity.
which is a pity. Because it sounded like a wonderful idea before I gave it a shot.
 

Years ago, there was a mod for phpBB message boards that let an ELIZA bot loose on them. My EverQuest I guild board had one, and you'd be amazed at how many people had actual conversations with Jenny without ever catching on. (Her forum title was even "I'm a robot.")

I miss that mod. :(

Can you elaborate on that?
