The paper discusses the origins of ELIZA, often regarded as the world's first chatbot, created by Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s. Contrary to popular belief, Weizenbaum did not intend to develop a chatbot but rather a tool for studying human-machine interaction and cognitive processes. The chatbot's fame overshadowed its original purpose, leading to misconceptions about its design. The paper provides a historical context for ELIZA's creation, highlighting its emergence from key aspects of AI history. It also explores how ELIZA unintentionally became known as a chatbot due to its release and programming nuances, ultimately leading to the loss of the original ELIZA for over 50 years. The study aims to clarify the true intentions behind ELIZA's development and its significance in the evolution of artificial intelligence.
