Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times, and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality.
There are many computer programs which give an impression of „talking“ with real human but it is not like you think so.

ELIZA is a computer program by Joseph Weizenbaum, designed in 1966, which parodied a Rogerian therapist, largely by rephrasing many of the patient's statements as questions and posing them to the patient. The last sentence gives the impression of comprehension, but in fact the program is written so that at one point, it modifies the first sentence and applies it as a response.

Using Eliza helps students grasp therapy. Computer-simulated psychotherapy as an aid in teaching clinical psychology. Nevertheless, by interacting with computer-simulated psychotherapy, students can understand the facets of effective psychotherapy by witnessing where computer simulations go wrong. They learn to appreciate the truly human dimension of psychotherapy, as well as explore exactly what beneficial role computers might indeed play in basic counseling and assessment. Computers will never be able to replace humans as psychotherapists.

It was very interesting to read about ELIZA. These days I have tryed this program. It suprised me because in some moments I started to think that I realy talk with a psichoterapeut. Well, the effect was great. I suggest to try it. :)

I agree with you girls, I want to get this program and try it. It is very interesting, but in my opinion computer program can not serve really human.
