046 - Eliza, Part 2
from General Intellect Unit · host General Intellect Unit
In which we finish our discussion of Eliza, a game by Zachtronics. "After abandoning her high-powered tech career and a mysterious three-year absence, Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey resurfaces working as a proxy for a virtual counseling app called Eliza. Her job consists solely of reading a script provided to her in real-time by an AI, leaving her no autonomy over what she says. Is Eliza a technological marvel that brings therapy to those who otherwise couldn’t access it? Or is it an ineffective replacement and another vector for technology companies to gain control over our lives and humanity?" If you like the show, consider supporting us on Patreon.
