I think I'm missing a puzzle piece on that one 🫠.

I guess I was more wondering what you like about the characters, and what makes you want to be around them. Can you learn things from them and apply them to your life? If you do, then you will be around them when you're around yourself!

ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967 at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. Created to explore communication between humans and machines, ELIZA simulated conversation by using a pattern matching and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no representation that could be considered really understanding what was being said by either party.

Oh...

I answered you from my inbox rather than the thread, so I didn't notice you weren't the same person I was responding to. I figured Eliza was a character in their novel 🤦.

I guess now I wish I didn't sound like a chat bot.
