Description

Joseph Weizenbaum, the MIT computer scientist who published the conversation program ELIZA in 1966, wrote this 1976 book against handing choices that call for human judgment over to machines. He had been disturbed to see people confide in ELIZA as if it understood them, and to hear psychiatrists suggest it could serve as an automatic therapist. Computer art drew the same doubts about machines doing human work.
