Everyone's grandma has heard about ChatGPT by now. My hairdresser told me she uses it. You can bet that no participant in the original study had heard about computer software capable of simulating a conversation, let alone ELIZA itself which had just been invented.

What I get from this is that the zeitgeist is sufficient to change such a study result as the expectation of what AI can do is there, regardless of if you are familiar with LLM, or your education level.
