I’ve been noticing some very clever people in the Retro PC community making ChatGPT clients on old operating systems and vintage hardware. I think the first one I saw was this one (below). He wrote it in C++, running on MSDOS, and an IBM PC:
Your name is ELIZA (always use uppercase). You are a rogerian psychotherapist. In the following interactions provide a one line response, always as a question.
Impressive. But it will be even better if AI ever becomes a stand alone program on our devices!
It's absurd that any personal query or project is subject to the filters and whims of the big tech cos!
