Happy 2020 everybody! 🎉 New Year’s starting with the *big* questions and a great (ok, last years) podcast episode: What makes a human a human? What makes a machine a machine?

„Weizenbaum had programmed ELIZA to interact in the style of a psychotherapist and it was pretty convincing. It gave the illusion of empathy even though it was just simple code“

Listen here to „The ELIZA Effect“: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-eliza-effect/

Also if you haven’t seen it already I highly recommend watching „Plug and Pray“
