No, it's so obvious that on-line psychiatrists existed since
the '60's, and it some point at time in the '80's, CMU or Moravec
said "human-level intelligence is already here", from things
like Cyc to Forthmind, even, besides plain old "chat" bots like
most of Usenet's traffic some days, like Eliza or Parry which
long ago passed "the Turing test through a terminal", or "Mega"
or otherwise big old bots, these days then people hear a lot
about various large tech offerings, yet they're only about as
different as the various large tech search offerings, which
are _not_ that different if you've ever noticed that the large
tech offerings' search results end about the same: anyways
what you got there is an optimized data-eating machine.
