In the 1970s, the ELIZA chatbot, created by Joseph Weizenbaum, provided interactive conversation experiences primarily designed to simulate a Rogerian psychotherapist.

Here's an example of an ELIZA session that could have occurred in the 1970s, showcasing its typical style of interaction:
Here are examples of the interaction style:
Human: Well, my boyfriend made me come here.
ELIZA: Your boyfriend made you come here?
Human: He says I'm depressed much of the time.
ELIZA: I am sorry to hear you are depressed.
Human: Men are all alike.
ELIZA: IN WHAT WAY.
Human: They're always bugging us about something or other.
