Eliza, the mad phychologist
|
"Enjoy a rousing conversation with your Mac. Eliza will play the part of a psychologist, conducting an open-ended clinical interview. As the patient, you get Eliza's opinions and advice on a wide range of subjects. Eliza has a large vocabulary and the ability to formulate a virtually unlimited number of responses. If you have Apple's Speech Manager (PlainTalk), you can actually watch and listen as Eliza responds, making this an excellent demonstration of the Speech Manager's capabilities! System 6.0.7 or better required. (Shareware $5)" So, I took it for a spin, just for fun (I don't need counciling.. honest!)

A session Transcripts:
OKAY. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU, ME? OKAY. YOU SEEM VERY SURE OF YOURSELF. HOW DOES THIS CERTAINTY FEEL? THE MORE YOU TELL ME, THE MORE I CAN HELP YOU. WHAT'S YOUR POINT? WHY DO YOU SAY 'DONNO'? SORRY, BUT I'M CONFUSED. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? VERY INTERESTING. CAN YOU PROVIDE MORE DETAILS? FINE. IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE. YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE IN THIS CASE. WHAT'S THAT? I AM LISTENING. TELL ME MORE. WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO RELAX. I SEE YOUR POINT. I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU FULLY. YOU SEEM TO HAVE GIVEN THAT ASSERTION A LOT OF THOUGHT. MANY ASPECTS OF MODERN LIFE INDUCE STRESS. WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? WHAT RESERVATIONS DO YOU HAVE? HUH? YES. PLEASE TELL ME MORE. YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING YOU WANT. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? HAVE YOU EVER TRIED MEDITATION? COME ON, ME. LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE. WHAT MAKES YOU SAY 'MEDITATION EH'? WHAT IF I SAID IT ISN'T WHAT I SAID. WHY DON'T YOU ELABORATE ON THAT. OH, I EVER TRIED MEDITATION! MAYBE WE SHOULD MOVE ON NOW. THAT COULD BE IMPORTANT. WELL, I'M GLAD THAT THAT'S STRAIGHTENED OUT. NOW THAT'S CLEARED UP. PLEASE TELL ME MORE. STAY WITH THAT FEELING. YOU SEEM VERY SURE OF YOURSELF. HOW DOES THIS CERTAINTY FEEL? RIGHT? WELL, I'M GLAD THAT THAT'S STRAIGHTENED OUT. TRY NOT TO BE REPETITIOUS, IF POSSIBLE. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE SORRY. DON'T REPEAT YOURSELF. TRY NOT TO BE REPETITIOUS, IF POSSIBLE. IF YOU'RE SURE, LET'S MOVE ON. TRY NOT TO BE REPETITIOUS, IF POSSIBLE. I THINK I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE. YOUR SITUATION IS NOT THAT UNUSUAL. I THINK WE'RE MAKING SOME PROGRESS NOW. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY? LET'S MOVE ON, IF YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS. TRY TO CHEER UP. THINGS WILL GET BETTER. TALKING SEEMS TO BE A LOST ART. HOW'S YOUR APPETITE? DID YOU COME TO ME BECAUSE YOU ARE HUNGRY? WE CAN'T ALWAYS BE HAPPY. OKAY, GO ON. NOW, TELL ME THE REAL PROBLEM. I AGREE, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE IF YOU WANT TO. REMEMBER, WE ALL MUST LEARN TO DEAL WITH BAD SITUATIONS. I SUSPECT IT ALL GOES BACK TO MONEY PROBLEMS. DOES YOUR BEST FRIEND HAVE A LOT OF MONEY? DO YOU THINK HE CARES ABOUT YOU? I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M DIGGING FOR. ALWAYS REMEMBER MY GRAVE. WONDERFUL. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? LET'S NOT. I'D LIKE YOU TO EXPLORE THIS TOPIC MORE DEEPLY. I THINK YOU HEARD ME WRONG. NOW THAT'S CLEARED UP. PLEASE TELL ME MORE. YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT ME, ARE YOU?
