and here's Joseph Weizenbaum, the creator of the early chatbot ELIZA, in 1976: "we, all of us, have made the world too much into a computer , and that this remaking of the world in the image of the computer started long before there were any electronic computers. Now that we have computers, it becomes somewhat easier to see this imaginative transformation we have worked on the world. Now we can use the computer itself--that is the idea of the computer--as a metaphor to help us understand what we have done and are doing." #ai
