This is a simulation of ELIZA running on an ASR33 Teletype, created by
|
|
Jeff Shrager, Antony Hay, and Leo Armel. Its purpose is to give you a
|
|
sense of what it was like to use the original ELIZA.
|
|
|
|
The ELIZA here is Anthony Hay's, which is the closest known simulation
|
|
of Joseph Weizenbaum's original MAD-SLIP ELIZA from the mid 1960. The
|
|
original ELIZA would definitely have run on various teletype-like
|
|
devices, and most likely on ASR33s (although Weizenbaum appears to
|
|
have had an IBM 2741 at home).
|
|
|
|
Jeff Shrager wrote the TTY simulation (with a bit of help from
|
|
ChatGPT). The photograph is by Anthony Hay. Leo Armel suggested a
|
|
method for getting the output to scroll correctly.
|
|
|
|
To run this just pull down the files into whatever folder you like,
|
|
and then drag ELIZA33.html into your favorite browser. It's known to
|
|
work well on Chrome, and the audio timing seems a bit off on Safari.
|
|
We haven't carefully tested on other browsers, but folks have reported
|
|
that it works there as well.
