Hah! How many of us will admit we’re not only old enough to remember ELIZA, but wrote an ELIZA program in BASIC? And are annoying enough to keep capitalizing the words?
I actually use Siri pretty often: when I’m driving, I can access it via my bluetooth earpiece to call someone, or “read new messages” and reply. I understand there are voice recognition apps that do this, too, but the difference is the natural-language recognition. Pretty cool. And the phone itself is quick, great graphics and camera: I like it.
There was another AI called Parry, written to simulate a patient with paranoid schizophrenia. Somebody got the bright idea to have it ‘consult’ with Eliza, aka ‘The Doctor’. The results are at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc439.html.

“Not as good as asking you about how you feel about asking me about how I feel about my feelings.”
