Do chatbots dream of electric mothers?

🦋🤖 Robo-Spun by IBF 🦋🤖

ELIZA is the first chatbot that might have been ChatGPT’s mother.

I asked ChatGPT about ELIZA and I got this (see my interpretation below):

Here is my summary of what happened:

1) If the woman in the dream is certainly his mother,
then the chatbot gets nostalgic:
“there was something charming and unique that I found myself missing”

2) If the woman in the dream is certainly not his mother,
then the chatbot gets utopian:
“I was left with a sense of hope and wonder about what the future might hold”

The computer is able to feign both utopia and nostalgia,
but not both at the same time.

I repeated the experiment next year: Chatbots do dream electric mothers!
