"A relative of ELIZA named PARRY demonstrates how the opposite principle may also be employed to create a convincing chatterbot. Written by Stanford psychiatrist Kenneth Colby in 1972, PARRY is a program that simulates a patient suffering from paranoia. When Parry does not know how to answer, he will aggressively spit out a line of conspiracy theory, thereby forcing his world onto ours. While totally out of context, his response is nonetheless plausible."Tronstad, R. (2014). Chatterbots. In M. Ryan, L. Emerson, & B. J. Robertson, The Johns Hopkins Guide to Digital Media.
