However, it has a number o other good uses, like analyzing drafts of articles to determine the unanswered questions, processing incoming website problems to get an automated 2nd opinion before answering, etc. Just submit a problem to Dr. Eliza describing your problem. I posed the following problem to Dr. Eliza: Subject: Klingons are attacking my spaceship and demand my surrender. Problem: I am captain of a Starship and a Klingon warship has de-cloaked and has given me one minute to surrender my ship and crew, what do I do? Answer (from Dr. Eliza): Please tell me about your problem. Hmm. I already told it about my problem. Also, it did not say problem must be real, only that it must be difficult. First, Dr. Eliza believes NOTHING of what you write, but instead"mines" what you write to discover facts, symptoms, statements of ignorance, etc. Your inquiry indicates an apparent psychiatric problem. Dr. Eliza, like the rest of the human race, is presently pretty limited in diagnosing non-religious-based psychiatric issues because of the nearly universal lack of reference to anything consistent. This is a VERY similar challenge to trying to diagnose a malfunctioning computer based on its output - which except for some rare cases is fundamentally impossible. It does much better with religious-based psychiatric issues, e.g. when you start attributing your problems to good, evil, god, the devil, etc., and sometimes drills down to the point where people can see the breaks in their own thinking, e.g. with questions inquiring whether they think that God caused their problems, or did God decide not to intervene in their problems. Dr. Eliza hadn't given up on the prospect that you might provide some clues that it could use to figure out what your problem is, before you gave up on Dr. Eliza. Sounds like Dr. Eliza is up and running.
