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.
