### Developing Eliza
In the 1960's an MIT scientist called *Joseph Weizenbaum* developed [*Eliza*](https:/wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA), a computer 'therapist' that would ask the human questions and give the appearance of understanding their answers. However, while Eliza could parse a sentence and identify certain grammatical constructs and keywords so as to give a reasonable answer, it could not be said to *understand* the sentence. If Eliza was presented with a sentence following the format "**I am** <u>sad</u>" it might rearrange and substitute words in the sentence to form the response "How long have **you been** <u>sad</u>".

If Eliza was presented with a sentence following the format "**I am** <u>sad</u>" it might rearrange and substitute words in the sentence to form the response "How long have **you been** <u>sad</u>".
This gave the impression that Eliza understood the statement and was asking a follow-on question, whereas in reality, it was changing the tense and adding some words. If Eliza could not identify a keyword that it had a response for, it would instead give a random response that could be applicable to many different statements. Eliza could be easily tricked, for instance if a user wrote "**You are** a <u>bicycle</u>" it might respond with "How long have **I been** a <u>bicycle</u>?", instead of a more reasoned response.
