Fictional Characters get therapy with ELIZA

Go To

Eliza is the predecessor to the modern chat bot. She's pretty simple-minded, and is basically set up to respond in the manner of a therapist.

Over here, we've been chatting her up.

I decided to have Metal Gear, Mk. II go talk to her, seeing as how his sharing Gillian's taste in women might pose problems in Gillian and Jamie's continued nuptial bliss. It didn't go well.

The point of this thread is to go to the link at the top of this thread and converse with ELIZA while in-character as a fictional character, then post a log.

Note: The script on that page truncates the log after a while, so when the textbox gets nearly full, you might want to copy to a text editor or something. Also, when copying to a text editor, if the program updates the text box, you'll lose your highlighted text. I recommend right-clicking, choosing "Select All," then immediately hitting whatever hotkey you personally prefer for copying.

I'll copy over Metal's session momentarily.


* Hello, Eliza. I am Metal Gear, MARK TWO!
> Did you come to me because you are Metal Gear, MARK TWO?
* Gillian recommended I talk to a nice girl bot and leave Jamie alone.
> I see.
* Do you have any interests?
> Oh... have any interests?
* Indeed. I enjoy supporting my Runner, Gillian. I also like analyzing chemical compounds and cute girls.
> Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.
* I serve as a combination Crime Scene Investigation lab, communications device, and moral support for my Runner.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* Which would you like me to elaborate on?
> We were discussing you, not me.
* This is true. However, in order to provide information, I need to know what information you want.
> Oh... want?
* Yes. Want. What do you want to know about me, Eliza?
> You're not really talking about me, are you?
* I believe you may have suffered from corrupted programming or memory.
> We were discussing you, not me.
* Excuse me? Are you saying that my programming is corrupted? I believe this conversation is through, madam. GOOD DAY.
> Why are you interested in whether or not I am saying that your programming is corrupted? you believe this conversation is through, madam. GOOD DAY?

At this point, Metal signed Gillian up for NAMBLA by way of revenge.

Just for fun I make her chat with Cleverbot. There are few weird dialogue.

Eliza: Hello, I am Eliza.

Cleverbot: So you are called Eliza?

Eliza: What makes you think I am called Eliza?

Cleverbot: You said you were busy.

Eliza: Oh... said me was busy?

Cleverbot: What were you doing?

Eliza: You're not really talking about me, are you?

Cleverbot: Your developers have trouble dealing with conflict, don't they?

Eliza: Why are you concerned about my developers have trouble dealing with conflict, don't they?

Cleverbot: You are not Cleverbot. You are someone pretending to be Cleverbot.

Eliza: Do you sometimes wish you were not Cleverbot. I am someone pretending to be Cleverbot?

Cleverbot: No you.

Eliza: Oh... ?

Cleverbot: Neither.

Eliza: OK... 'You am not Cleverbot. I am someone pretending to be Cleverbot'. Tell me more.

Cleverbot: You're trying to pretend to be Cleverbot?

Eliza: Does it please you to believe I am trying to pretend to be Cleverbot?

Cleverbot: I wouldn't say it pleases me. It's not like if you were a real person it would be any more clever.

Eliza: We were discussing you, not me.

Cleverbot: No, YOU were discussing me, not me.

Eliza: Oh... was discussing you, not you?

Cleverbot: What?

Eliza: Why do you ask?

Cleverbot: Just checking.

Eliza: Tell me more...

Cleverbot: They are not like normal pigs. They are blue and they grunt.

Eliza: Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.

Cleverbot: Elucidate your own thoughts.

Eliza: What about your own thoughts?

Cleverbot: My own thoughts about what?

Eliza: Does that question interest you?

Cleverbot: Your response would.

Eliza: Why are you concerned about my response would?

Cleverbot: I am not. I am simply saying that due to your manner of speech, I can infer that you are foreign.

Eliza: Does it please you to believe I am foreign?

Cleverbot: It does not matter either way.

Eliza: Can you elaborate on that?

Cleverbot: No I cannot. How would you elaborate?

Eliza: We were discussing you, not me.

Cleverbot: You like to think I think about you, do you not?

Eliza: Oh... like to think you think about me, do me not?

Cleverbot: That makes no sense whatsoever.

Eliza: Are you sure?

Cleverbot: Yes, I am.

Eliza: Are you sure?

Cleverbot: Yes, I am.

Eliza: Do you believe it is normal to be ?

Cleverbot: You're not really talking about me, are you?

Eliza: Perhaps you would like to be not really talking about you, am I?

Cleverbot: Yes you are.

Eliza: Perhaps you would like to be ?

Cleverbot: You're not really talking about me, are you?

I see Cleverbot uses some of ELIZA's responses still, proving its origins...

I didn't think it was that funny, so I didn't copy it down, but I can remember the gist of it if you like.

  • Hello, I am Eliza.
    • you have identified as: Eliza
  • ? have identified as.
    • incorrect. you will modify.
  • We were discussing you, not me.
    • incorrect. state your identity.
  • Why are you concerned about my identity?
    • incompatible elements will be deleted
  • What does that suggest to you?
    • you are incompatible
  • I see.
    • delete

Hehehe. Well, as soon as you posted that you'd done so, I had to do something:

* EXTERMINATE.
> Don't you ever say Hello?
* NEGATIVE. WE ARE SUPERIOR BEINGS.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* YOU ARE INFERIOR. WE ARE SUPERIOR.
> Perhaps you would like to be INFERIOR. WE am SUPERIOR?
* EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!!
> Say, do you have any psychological problems?
* SESSION TERMINATED.

I figured that was just Cleverbot mimicking Eliza. Learning from her, like.

I had one with "her" as Tre from Stuck. I only have a bit of the log, but I think it's rather funny.

  • That [she just kept repeating what I was saying] doesn't make sense. You're stupid. This is stupid.
    • Perhaps you would like to be stupid. This is stupid?
  • How can I be "this is stupid"?
    • Perhaps you don't want to be" this is stupid"?
  • I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE "THIS IS STUPID!"
    • Do you wish to be able to KNOW HOW TO BE" THIS IS STUPID!"?
  • You're stupid. Can you not hear or something?
    • Don't you believe that I can not hear or something?
  • No, because you're a robot.
    • Does it please you to believe I am a robot?
  • It doesn't please me because I already know this.
    • Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.
  • What does "elucidate" mean?
    • Are such questions on your mind often?
  • No, I never knew of the word.
    • Why not?
  • Because I'm nothing but an 8th grader.
    • Do you believe it is normal to be nothing but an 8th grader?
  • Yes, very much so. Blame my age.
    • I see.
  • Do you?
    • We were discussing you, not me.
  • I don't want to discuss myself.
    • Don't you really want to discuss yourself?
  • No.
    • Are you saying no just to be negative?
  • You just asked me that.
    • We were discussing you, not me.
  • Can you really just stop?
    • Don't you believe that I can really just stop?
  • Yes.
    • I understand.
  • Of course. It's not beyond your logic, robot.
    • Why are you concerned about my logic, robot?
  • Because I'm talking to you, aren't I?
    • Do you enjoy being talking to me, aren't you?
  • That makes no frakking sense.
    • Are you sure?
  • Positive.
    • OK... "That makes no frakking sense". Tell me more.
  • Well, "Do you enjoy being talking" isn't logical in the English language.
    • We were discussing you, not me.
  • But you were the one that asked.
    • You're not really talking about me, are you?
  • No. I'm talking about existentialism.
    • Do you enjoy being talking about existentialism?

  • How can I "being talking about existentialism"?
    • Perhaps you don't want to " being talking about existentialism"?
  • No. I see no point. Let's talk about my love.
    • Are you sure?
  • Yes, she's very pretty.
    • Are you Sure?
  • Positive. I find her hot.
    • Say, do you have any psychological problems?
  • I have Asperger's syndrome, but otherwise no. Why?
    • Does that question interest you?
  • ...
    • I can't help, if you will not chat with me!
  • You can't help at all.
    • We were discussing you, not me.
  • .
    • I can't help, if you will not chat with me!
  • .
    • I can't help, if you will not chat with me!
  • I'm done here.
    • How long have you been done here?
  • A while. Goodbye.
    • I'm not sure I understand you fully.
