Parry: I don't understand your motives.Eliza: Why don't you understand my motives? When people had started calling ELIZA intelligent, Joseph Weizenbaum went into an uproar. Coincidentally, ELIZA creates questions to help people's personal problems, while IQATS (Intelligent Question and Answer Test Summarizer), a program written by Sam Hsiung (Generation 5 staff member), creates questions for test-making purposes.
