Daughter of Eliza

logo (19k image)

I went to the Museum of Science yesterday with my girlfriend, and predictably spent all my time in the computer exhibit. I sat down for a conversation with A.L.I.C.E. The logo itself was worth the price of admission, as was the Enigma machine emulator. When A.L.I.C.E. said"Eliza for President" I was hooked. Still not going to pass the The Turing Test, but fun nonetheless.

Does anyone (rafuzo?) have a transcript of my conversation with Eliza c. 1996?

I just told Eliza I lived in Hollywood California and she just said "I'm not going to do that to you, nice to meet you EJ"

Love it.

ALICE: My memory requirement is around 64MB for the Java edition, or only 2 MB for the C/C++ edition.

ALICE: My full name is Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity, so my last name is "Entity".
