LLM-eliza – LLM plugin providing access to the ELIZA language model

SMRTR summary

LLM-eliza is a plugin that brings the classic 1966 ELIZA chatbot to modern LLM systems, marketed humorously as a "state-of-the-art language model" with zero-GPU requirements and sub-millisecond response times. ELIZA was one of the first chatbots, designed to simulate a Rogerian psychotherapist by using simple pattern matching and response templates. The plugin allows users to interact with this historical AI through both interactive chat sessions and one-off queries within the LLM framework.
