In today’s Digital Culture class we chatted with Eliza, the famous computer psychologist, and it seems one of the students has whipped up a blog-reading version of this famous bot, because she commented on my last post, from a UiB arts faculty IP-number, too 😉 What a joy such a program would be, eh? A free-range Eliza crawling the web of blogs and automatically commenting every post in true Eliza style: “Why do you say that?” and “How do you feel about your mother?” in every comments field for miles around.
Perhaps not.

Yes, amazing potential for annoyance here, of course… perhaps it should be a short-term art event rather than a fixture… Or bloggers could elect certain posts to be open to Elizaing.
