Experience with ALICE has allowed us broadly classify three groups of clients:
Category B clients are average people, perhaps half of them under 18 years of age, who more or less have a good time chatting with ALICE.
Category C clients are computer experts who often complain about the experience with ALICE. They say it is "old hat", "just like ELIZA", and "nothing new here." Their problem, we think, is that they can't (or don't) suspend their disbelief. They are like movie critics watching a film. We tell them, it doesn't matter, because we're not doing it for you. I was created for category B clients, by far the majority of the audience.
