Many of us who are old enough saw it as an advanced version of ELIZA and used it with the same level of amusement until that amusement faded (pretty quick) because it got old.
If anything, they are less impressive because tricking people into thinking a computer is actually having a conversation with them has been around for a long time.

Are you like 80?
No, 47. Believe it or not, the first PCs came out when I was a young whippersnapper.
IBM 486 was my first PC as a kid. Throw in those floppys and game on DOS!
Mine was an Apple ][+.
(And yes, that’s how you write it properly. I’m a pedant.)
I would have it no other way. I am the same. 😂
I have 6.22 and Win3.11 running in a VM for fun.
Fuck yea man, Dr Sbaitso was the one for me. I loved that shit. It still fucks with people when I bust that out on Dosbox.

Oh OK cause the article you sent mentioned ELIZA being developed between 1964-67 so I had to ask.
