Is Eliza Human?

Eliza is difficult to program.  The directions were not very clear or helpful.  However, I did find it interesting to learn how Eliza works.  When I first had a conversation with her, I was really frustrated and I constantly referred to her as a "stupid program"  The coding helped me understand that it is not Eliza's fault that she is incapable of carrying on a conversation; because she is, after all, just a coding system, not a human.
