ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program created from 1964 to 1966 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum

Meet Weizenbaum's famous secretary who asked him to leave the room while she chatted with Eliza.   And, now we know that Weizenbaum was a hunt and peck typist.   For the sake of discussion,  I am not sure today's Eliza clones, do justice to the original Eliza, which ran on a mainframe.  For one thing, Weizenbaum invented the programming language, Eliza was written in.  So, today's Eliza clones have  neither the original hardware nor software design.

Here is a reference to some Java source code posted to AiDreams as an example of one of today's clones:
