Have your own AI therapist on your phone!

Ouh one of the first programs I copied from a magazine!
There's an Eliza written in javascript and one ported to z5 you could use with Gelek Vanilla

Look at this week episode of one of my favorite audiocasts:
https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-eliza-effect/ -
I recall a scene from the movie, THX-1138, with a computerized device that was something between a therapist and a confessional. As I recall, it was fairly ineffective perhaps symbolizing the mental health care system.

@CiberSheep Hello.
What is the exact file that runs under your app ?
Thank you -
@domubpkm https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=fh8iwavcu4ldm98i
z5 but it can read nearly all z-machine ones, level 9, gluglx, magnetic scrolls, tads (improvable) and some Scott Adams... you can choose
-
@CiberSheep I must be tired because I can't get the game to work!
So it's this folder : http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/eliza.zip
So, i unzip this folder and after ? How what do I have to do to make the game work? I tried to run eliza.z5 but it doesn't work for me.
Sorry for the basic questions, it's the first time i try to use your app... -
@domubpkm So, once uncompresed (Gelek Vanilla should do that but I think you found a bug :)):
- Open Gelek Vanilla: https://open-store.io/app/gelek-vanilla.cibersheep
- Tap on the plus and import eliza.z5 from File Manager. Eliza will ask if you want a transcript, answer No (not N as suggested) and you should have see the presentation
-
@CiberSheep ...so I didn't make a mistake in the procedure. At the launch, I get this :
The therapist is probably bugged under Gelek !! -
@domubpkm Sorry. This is trully my fault but there are 2 Geleks:
- Gelek (strawberry) with all the info of Level 9 games and extra bits
- Gelek Vanilla (the yellow grey one) that is the one that supports more type of games / stories (but has no specific information about a company nor a game)
-
@CiberSheep With me, no one is guilty and ESPECIALLY in computing.
Miracle, it works!!!
After I realized that Gelek couldn't stand suru dark... because I couldn't see the first message from the beginning...The ideal would be to merge the two Gelek (if it was possible !!).
Do you want me to make requests for that ? and suru dark ? -
@domubpkm I'm happy it worked.
Suru dark (I forgot to add that :D)
I don't want to merge the two Geleks. That's why I have them separate in the first place
-
@CiberSheep I get stuck here, at the transcript question after selecting eliza.z5 from the file manager.
-
To digress just a bit, here's a short clip (3 minutes) from Adam Curtis' documentary HyperNormalisation. He speaks of how Weizenbaum's Eliza led to a change in AI development. Before Eliza, the focus had been on creating human thought and behaviour in a computer. After Eliza, the focus shifted to simply mirroring users of AI devices, reflecting their thoughts back to them (and ultimately gathering information about users). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84QouA9Sm4E

@CiberSheep Hey, it worked! I rebooted my phone, and tried it out. After using the keyboard to enter "N" to the question, I used the provided return button with your app (rather than the keyboard one), and it worked. Great stuff!

Thanks for the workaround. This is related to the language spell checker as informed here
Have fun now
