This is a typical conversation from the Ruby version of Eliza with full rule set I’ve just pushed to github. I’ll describe it in another blog post soon:

eliza> Hello there
How do you do. Please state your problem
eliza> I want to see if you work
Really-- if I work?
eliza> Yeah. You're a computer program that I need to check.
What do you think machines have to do with your problem?
eliza> Well, you're a machine, right?
Go on
eliza> And since you're a machine and I need to check you, you are quite relevant to this discussion.
What makes you think I am quite relevant to this discussion.?
eliza> That you are a computer program
What do you think about machines?
eliza> They are evil. They want to kill me
Possibly they are evil. they want to kill you
eliza> Yeah.
Please continue
eliza> No
You are being a bit negative
eliza> Yes
I understand
eliza> I don't think you do
Do you feel strongly about discussing such things?
eliza> Yes, I really feel strongly about it
What does that suggest to you?
eliza> That you are a fake
What makes you think I am a fake?
eliza> Just intuition
Please continue
eliza> What's your name?
Do you feel strongly about discussing such things?
eliza> What is your name?
What do you think?

Quite funny indeed, although there are some obvious glitches.
