Ah, finally the truth
very perceptive Harry,
Arny has been undergoing intense
psychotherpay for the past 6 years.
The therapist is a software program.

Actually, Eliza was a parody of a Rogerian psychotherapist, as any decent
reference on the topic says.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliza_effect

Rogerian pyschotherapists responded largely by rephrasing the patient's
comments.

>Nobody would mistake it for a real discussion with a psychiatrist, although

It is well known that the Eliza program was a flawed implementation of a
questionable approach to psychotherapy.

So. I wasn't holding the proposed software up to a very high standard.

A higher standard would be the Turing test.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

As usual, Harry is imposing his own lack of knowlege and inability to reason
properly on the discussion.

Yes, GOIA, I agree with you: Computers may someday be able to "parody"
human emotion randomly.

Harry was wrong to call you an idiot in this discussion concerning
replacing human musicians with robots. LOL!

Very funny, Arny. I properly identified the test.. . fr om memory...not from
your crutch, Wikopedia. Some of actually acquired knowledge as we went
along...we don't have to "research' every question, Arny. It's called a
"conversation". Eliza is Eliza, as I said a sophomoric little program
mimicing the open-ended questions of a psychiatrist. Without "Wikopedia",
Arny.

Any you think that shows a lack of knowledge, Arny? Obviously you don't
know the difference between real knowledge and "look up".

Keep grasping for imaginary forms of superiority Harry. Just because I post
the references doesn't mean that I didn't do it from memory. Also, it was I
that initated the topic, you're just following my lead.

In your case Harry, its all about your wounded ego.

>Eliza is Eliza, as I said a sophomoric little program mimicing the

As I said Harry, you're talking about an imaginary advantage.

Dream on, Harry.

One is a the playback of a recording of human performers
and the other is a live concert by robots.
And I am sure the robots will appreciate the vociferous applause you
will be giving them.

I couldn't listen to the whole thing. The rich harmonic overtones, the
raw human emotion...

I have tears in my eyes.

So it would seem. Some instruments are fairly well replicated by wavetable
synthesis.
