For sure Eliza wasn't less intelligent than Dana Whitfield - I'd say a little bit less chatty.

I put the guys "sentences" into Eliza (of course not the original... https://masswerk.at/elizabot/)

@rdnielsen I really liked this. Chick Bongo is the best candidate for this role!

@goedelchen @rdnielsen I think that confirms my guess - Eliza's responses come across to me as less "phony" than Dana's.
But obviously Eliza wasn't coded as to be a job interviewer, whereas Dana was intended for that purpose. However its responses are still just taking a few words from the "interviewee" and constructing a sentence using them. I don't think it simulates understanding any better than Eliza did.

If I am ever going to implementing a garbage collector I will now consider including raccoon in the name.

@rdnielsen Are you sure it’s not fake?

[jpkolsen@social.data.coop]

@rdnielsen wait, is this something that actual companies do to actual applicants for actual jobs? Why!?

[rdnielsen@floss.social]

@jpkolsen
Yes--there are examples and guidance online. Here's an example: https://interviewer.ai/how-ai-interviews-work-step-by-step-for-employers-and-candidates/

@rdnielsen I still don’t see why…? What are they hoping to get from an AI “interview” that they couldn’t get from a CV? Weird
