    When I was little kid in the 80s, finding BASIC code for Eliza was life-changing. It made me think that making KITT would be possible, and I wrote my first neural net code at 12 lol.

    It's crazy to think that in 2025 you can make a fully working KITT -- a car that drives you around on its own and talks to you in perfect English with a snarky sense of humor -- and it would barely raise an eyebrow.

      As a fellow child of the 80's I totally get what you mean, but you still can't really do that. You can get close with a simulation inside a closed roadway, I guess. People would probably pay for that experience, actually. Hmm.

      My first touch of ELIZA came in the version integrated into SAM the Software Automatic Mouth. Blew my mind. I was 13 or 14.
