ELIZA vs. ChatGPT

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/1yZRNt25Wdo

Finally. A good use for ChatGPT! 👹

Pitting one chatbot against another is not a new idea. (Aside from the fact that the topic is still more or less new - depending on your own point of view).

But hanging ChatGPT on one end of the line and on the other end ... ELIZA, that's a novelty. And a fun one at that. Joseph Weizenbaum is known to some, as his ELIZA caused a stir as a chatbot back in 1966.

Both bots play in the same stadium, but each in a very different league. If ChatGPT is the Premier League, then ELIZA is playing football on the playground next door - but that doesn't mean the two can't hold a conversation.

This was tested by an unknown YouTuber publishing as P-Lab. As ELIZA runs on an APPLE-I replica as is customary, you need a little ... patience. 😋

But following the conversation between the two is fun at least. The result... is not revealed here, watch the video yourself.
