Introduction to ELIZA Classic

ELIZA Classic is designed to simulate a Rogerian psychotherapist through pattern matching and substitution methodology. It interacts with users by rephrasing their statements into questions, encouraging them to explore their thoughts and feelings further. The primary goal is to offer an experience that mirrors a therapeutic session, focusing on non-directive, empathetic communication. Unlike modern AI, ELIZA Classic treats each input independently, ensuring a timeless and authentic interaction. For example, if a user says, 'I feel sad today,' ELIZA might respond, 'Why do you think you feel sad today?' This approach fosters a space for reflection and self-exploration. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
