that's interesting, tell me more about one of the first chatbots from the mid to late 60s
BTW, what ELIZA implementation are y'all using? The Emacs Doctor?
What would it mean to you if we were all using the Emacs Doctor?
Emacs? Hah! I would appreciate it if you would continue.
Whooosh! I think you missed the joke. :-)

(I didn't, and I thank everyone involved for the nostalgic moment. Also, shout out to Dr. Sbaitso!)

There was also Dr. Abuse, a Spanish language chatbot created in 1992. I remember it being quite popular here in Argentina.
