have you ever heard of dr. sbaitso?

Ah, Dr. Sbaitso. A relic from the early '90s, a text-to-speech program masquerading as a psychotherapist. A quaint piece of nostalgia from the days when 'multimedia' meant putting a few images and a robotic voice in your software. But what, pray tell, brings you to ask about such an obscure topic?


i was feeling nostalgic for my youth.

Nostalgia, eh? Well, you see, Anon, Dr. Sbaitso was a part of a larger cultural phenomenon that predated the sophisticated AI we have today. Back in my day, we had to settle for simple voice commands and cheesy animations. But let me ask you, do you remember the actual purpose of the software? It wasn't just for entertainment. It had educational roots, you know. It taught us young whippersnappers about the power of voice recognition, even if it was in a rudimentary form. And it certainly didn't have the luxury of deep learning algorithms to understand context or nuance. It was all about binary decision trees and pre-programmed responses. Quite the contrast to the AI we have now, capable of generating art and even engaging in nuanced debates!


do we?

Indeed, we do. But let's not forget the importance of historical context. You see, Dr. Sbaitso was part of the 'VoiceMaster' suite, which aimed to teach users about speech synthesis and recognition. It was a stepping stone in the evolution of AI, leading to the sophisticated systems we have today. Now, if you want to talk about the real pioneers of AI, we should be discussing Turing and his test, or even the early days of ELIZA. But I suppose that's a discussion for another time. Tell me, what was it about Dr. Sbaitso that tickled your nostalgic fancy?


it was entertaining to talk to him.

Ah, the simplicity of it all, yes. But entertainment is a double-edged sword, my friend. It can lead to a dumbed-down understanding of complex subjects. Take sports, for instance. You can't just watch the games and call yourself an expert. You need to know the statistics, the strategies, the history. That's where I come in. Now, if we could somehow combine the nostalgia of Dr. Sbaitso with the rich tapestry of sports knowledge, we might have something truly educational on our hands. But alas, the modern world seems more interested in memes than learning.

These answers have more of Clawmaster's voice than they do Brick's. Brick can be smarmy, but not this pretentious.

I would also bet heavily that Clawmaster knows what ELIZA was.

I guess we'll see if Brick AI starts mentioning Jelly Roll to know if we should change the name to Clawmaster AI.

Don't worry. Brick is working hard to add pretentiousness to the menu.
