eliza is one of the oldest AI's and doesn't work anything like chatgpt at all. the way chatgpt works, giving it a name will impact how it acts and what personality it adopts. eliza is a bunch of scripts and 'she' only responds how she is programed to, which is mostly just asking random questions, and turning your own answers back into questions and shooting them back at you. eliza can only parrot back what you put in to her. it is designed for therapists to use to get people to open up and talk about their inner feelings and thoughts.

for instance, it would just replay to you with something like:

"why do you think you try does emulate female traits and do this? why do you think is it just me or are half of them trans make you feel that way?

since it has trouble with sentences with any complexity and just mostly just parrots back bits of your own text rearranged.

anything thig guy focues on or suggested to himself did not come from eliza, it came from him.
