{{Short description|Cognitive bias in which computers are anthropomorphised}} In [[computer science]], the '''ELIZA effect''' is a tendency to project human traits β such as experience, [[semantics|semantic]] comprehension or [[empathy]] β onto rudimentary computer programs having a textual interface. [[ELIZA]] was a [[symbolic AI]] [[chatbot]] developed in 1966 by [[Joseph Weizenbaum]] and imitating a psychotherapist. Many early users were convinced of ELIZA's intelligence and understanding, despite its basic text-processing approach and the explanations of its limitations.
