eliza could do that 60 years ago
Why hasn't it been incorporated into IDEs until now?
Up until now most people hated when shit randomly popped up while they were typing.
The Apple went and made the iPhone and now we have a whole generation that expects it.
Within IDEs people go out of their way to install Intellisense so that "shit randomly pops up while they're typing." There are companies whose whole existence depends on people wanting that to happen.
Ah, come-on, why do you think Eliza could do that 60 years ago?
(It couldn't. It's at most 40 years old technology, and way more likely just 30. Even though you could program Eliza to do something like this, it would be way too specific for any use.)
the 60s were 60 years ago
huh
It's the kind of thing you would see at the 90s.
The 60s had room-sized computers that were busy calculating payroll.
Does that question interest you?
