Eliza
I just tried Eliza and I thought it was pretty amazing!! I had a similar experience a few days ago. My best friend's boyfriend made an Instant Messenger Robot named "ilovekerribot". Anyways, the robot is awesome because you can talk to it just like a normal person and it will respond. Her boyfriend made it by using a website and filling out a form with generic things, then the computer took it from there. My friends and I had the best time because we would ask the same questions and see if we got the same answer, and we would ask weird questions like, "What's your favorite kind of chicken?". Anyways, it always had an answer and also some unique phrases that it would use over and over. Anyways, I am sure that everyone has used this kind of thing, "SmarterChild" is probably the most popular, but I just wanted to remark upon the similarity of "SmarterChild" and other Instant Messenger Robots to Eliza.

Brenna-I have had the same experience as you. I have been exposed to some robots like Eliza. It is so interesting to see how these robots can respond, almost like a human. Good entry! I was going to reflect on Eliza as well. -Christina
