I really believe that smart people strive to get Eliza or a reasonable
child of Eliza functional to this day. After all, it's the perfect
Turing test IIRC.
And in what more perfect place could you test it than on Usenet?
Sometimes the posts are nonsensical but keep others posting. Sometimes
the author is brilliant in everything from gerenuks to asteroids to
soil. I'm not a conspiracist, but I know that testing a new version of
Super Eliza can and should be done here.
