About
Knoh Oh informed me that Joseph Weizenbaum had passed way earlier this month. Dr. Weizenbaum is very well known in the artificial intelligence community for inventing the first chatbot program, called ELIZA. The program is able to respond to text containing keywords. It can also rephrase statements into questions to simulate a Rogerian therapist. I have made many different implementations of ELIZA in the past. I created one in Second Life as well that works well within the 16K limitation of scripts. This one is a freebie, open source, full permissions. You can program it with your own responses. Joseph lives in SL through ELIZA. From Dedric Mauriac via blogHUD.com
