Ah, come-on, why do you think Eliza could do that 60 years ago?

(It couldn't. It's at most 40 years old technology, and way more likely just 30. Even though you could program Eliza to do something like this, it would be way too specific for any use.)

It's the kind of thing you would see at the 90s.

The 60s had room-sized computers that were busy calculating payroll.

Does that question interest you?
