Dumb as she is, she has been mistaken for a human. So much for human intelligence (hi!).
She is still popular. If you do a web search for her, you will see
that she is discussed in many computer science classes. You can get
your own copy of Eliza and many other related programs... for several
different platforms from the
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) AI classics repository
