The chatbot has gained popularity due to its ability to engage users despite only using simple responses such as “Please tell me about your problem.” The ELIZA code was written in an older programming language and was later modified as technology advanced, causing the original code to be forgotten.
In 2021, researchers found the lost code among Weizenbaum’s documents and attempted to recover it. They cleaned up the code, created a simulation of a 1960s computer, and by December 2024, ELIZA was working again.
