Wowsa, I just discovered the typed notes from my 2002 interview with Joseph Weizenbaum about ELIZA. I gotta clean this up and put it online sometime. Trivia: He originally thought of giving the bot the personality of a bartender; you'd talk to it, it'd ask the occasional question

How keyboards evolved from writing using keys to *talking* using keys. Also, it’s kind of an amazing story and Weizenbaum struck me as a very interesting/thoughtful person?
