In a July 30, 2026, article, the history of ELIZA, an early AI program from the late '70s and early '80s, is used to explain AI's ongoing impact. The article highlights a nostalgic dialogue where a user expresses job stress and ELIZA responds with reflective questions, such as "What's making you feel stressed about your job?" and "Tell me more about your boss." This interaction, described as feeling like magic in the 1980s, still illustrates how AI technology influences user engagement today.
