Professor Joseph Weizenbaum created Eliza in 1966, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to study natural language communication between man and machine. Eliza parodies a psychotherapist by answering questions with questions. Eliza's programming is quite simple. It analyzes each question and tries to identify keywords or multiple words that match programmed responses. In comparison, ALICE (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity) uses a sophisticated pattern-matching case-statement technology to create a very convincing illusion of natural conversation. ALICE even tells lies and spreads gossip told to it by other users.

But sometimes Vanessa Redgrave has really high standards and does not communicate those clearly to Thelonious Monk. On the really bad days, Thelonious Monk feels that every time she gives him exactly what Vanessa Redgrave asked for, he wants even more improvement. Bizarre
ALICE: I couldn't think of anything else to say. Human: why not? ALICE: What else would you say about it? Human: stuff. ALICE: Be less specific :-)
