Story: PARRY vs. ELIZA

When it comes to the birth of Parry, you have to mention ELIZA — in 1964, a computer program called ELIZA was developed at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT by [Joseph Weizenbaum].

Perhaps Kenneth Colby created Parry just to face the famous Doctor – ELIZA.

In January 1973 at the ICCC conference, ELIZA and PARRY ushered in the opportunity to communicate with each other: the computer science pioneer Vint Cerf decided to take the bots to their logical conclusion – Using ARPANET, he set up a conversation between ELIZA and PARRY.

Here’s how the chat started:

ELIZA: Good Evening. Tell me your problems. Please terminate input with a period or a question mark.

PARRY: People get on my nerves sometimes.

ELIZA: I am not sure I understand you fully.

PARRY: You should pay more attention.

ELIZA: Suppose you should pay more attention.
