@greenmoonmoon@mastodon.gamedev.place @amiserabilist@beige.party If I remember correctly, till the late #90s many here in #Pakistan were talking to ELIZA and perhaps even thought like everybody else that she was sentient, I remember a friend of mine introduced me to the program in 2000/01 and I remember that many of the questions we asked as a kid got some strange answers (it does not help that our English langauge skills were limited to a 9 year old) but we never believed Eliza to be sentient/intelliegent at all 😐
