The API documentation defines the available endpoints, the required parameters, the expected response format, and any authentication requirements. Developers can use this API to integrate social media features into their own applications. Table of Contents: 1. Introduction to REST API Testing      1.1. What is an API?      1.2.

Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Chat Bots: From ELIZA to Chat GPT

Image
Artificial Intelligence Chatting Robots, or chatbots, have come a long way since their inception. What began as simple text-based programs with predefined responses has evolved into sophisticated conversational agents capable of understanding and generating natural language. In this blog, we'll take a journey through the fascinating evolution of AI chatting robots, exploring their humble beginnings, key milestones, and the powerful technologies that drive them today. 1. The Birth of ELIZA: The First Chatbot ELIZA, developed by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s, is often regarded as the pioneer of chatbot technology. ELIZA was primarily designed as a simple rule-based program that could simulate Rogerian psychotherapy sessions. It utilized pattern matching and predefined scripts to mimic human conversation. ELIZA would respond to users by mirroring their statements and asking open-ended questions, creating the illusion of a therapeutic dialogue. Example: User: "I'm feelin...
