Eliza The Pschatrist
Eliza The Pschatrist
~~~~ ELIZA THE PYCHATRIST ~~~~
==============================
~~~~ REVIEWED ~~~~
==================
Eliza, is a program that emulates a Pychatrist (Am I spelling that
right, I can't find it anywhere in the dictionary?!) although it
doesn't really solve any of your problems.
It is quite a good idea and maybe with a slightly bigger
understanding of what you are typing in it might just work. You
can see how the program works but it can be quite intresting in
how the Eliza responds when you answer her questions in a certain
way.
I can't really say much else, infact if I have room on this disk I
might put Eliza on with the other P.D. I have included (see "P.D.
on this disk" article!).
As I said it can be quite intresting to see what the response is
to what you say to her but you just seem to go around in circles
and when you don't you are not getting anywhere. She asks you
what is wrong, you tell her. She then asks you if you are sure
that that is the problem and then she says that is intresting and
then nothing really happens and by the time you get her speaking
sense again you've started all over again. This gets very boring
in the end and you just don't bother to try it again although it
is nice to see a computer trying to be helpful in such a way!
Another problem I came up against was that it kept on asking me
why I had brought up the subject of friends when I had said
nothing of the sort. When I did bring up the subject of friends
she would say nothing.
I can't really put the program down though as we all know it is
impossible for a computer to think for itself at our present state
of technology but I think it was a good try at it and it is an
original and good idea.
Give it a try!
