Episode Introduction

In this episode, we are going to discuss the ELIZA effect -- a common psychological bias that emerges from interactions with language models.

The "ELIZA effect" refers to a phenomenon in human-computer interaction, wherein people attribute understanding and emotion to a computer program that simply follows predefined rules. This concept is named after an early natural language processing computer program developed at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s.
