Again, that only speaks to how you think about chatbots.  Personally, every 
time I’ve tried a “modern” one out, the responses always made it look 
*dumber* than Eliza, because it came across as trying to look smarter than 
it really was.  Like a kid bullshitting their way through a book report by 
using bigger words than they really understood.  I’ll grant you that it 
*is* a much more sophisticated con job, but realize that the output is 
still 100% “hallucinations” unless *you* know otherwise.
