This sound literaly like a subplot of the famous 1984 book by David Lodge Small World: An Academic Romance
In the book professor Robin Dempsey almost become mad by chatting with ELIZA and gradually begin to believe it's sentient to the point of being ridiculous.
PS: Apparently it was also adapted in a British TV serie in 1988, but unfortunately at that time they tended to reuse magnetic band and it's improbable that we can dig a clip out of that. Would have been appropriate an illustration!
- stevesimmons 4y agoThe master tapes are available. If you pay ITV, they will actually convert them to mp4 for you. ITV apparently said this, from a 2021 forum post I found via Google: I wrote to ITV in 2019 about this. Here is part of the (very helpful) response I received: "Currently, the only option for a copy would be for us to make one-off transfers from each individual master tape. These are an old format of reel-to-reel tape which increases the cost, I'm afraid: If delivered as video files (mp4), the total price would be £761.00 or on DVD it’s £771.00." If only we could find a few people to split that cost!
