Before the advent of the TRS-80/Commodore PET/Atari, only large companies used computers and they were pretty limited in application. Even then, the early PCs didn't catch on until software became more standardized under the Windows/IBM banner. I doubt Eliza had much of an audience back then.

My point was to highlight that, contrary to what many people think, AI has been in development for a long time, even if the general public didn't have access to it.
