2. RACTER

   Racter is an artificial intelligence simulator from 1984. Similar to Eliza, Racter will converse with the user until boredom occurs. However, there's a twist - Racter is not quite sane! This makes for a lot of fun conversation.

   Racter was originally programmed on an early Apple computer. 

   Additional comments by developer William Chamberlain and Thomas Etter:
   RACTER was designed in a tongue-in-cheek manner, using remarkably minimal resources, to amuse and entertain its users, rather than to advance the research in natural language processing. In conversation, RACTER plays a very active, almost aggressive role, jumping from topic to topic in wild associations, ultimately producing the manner of - as its co-creator Tom Etter calls it - an "artificially insane" raconteur. Its authors publicize RACTER as an "intense young program [that] haunted libraries, discussion societies, and sleazy barrooms in a never-ending quest to achieve that most unreachable of dreams: to become a raconteur."

4. Runeberg

   A lost work that according to the author's later description of PoemStar (1989) was a meme generator created in collaboration with Pekka Tolonen, the composer and AI expert. From the description of PoemStar:

   The aim of Runeberg was straightout: the computer is a medium and its message differs from the bardic tradition, as that voice-resident and era-active poetry diverses from the printed literature. When Gutenberg & Co invented moveable type they made the literature unmovable. They did more than spring the Bible. Or their invention ultimately provided a meaning-proof shed, an opportunity for the consolidation of language. --Shakespeare jumped on that opportunity. He reconfigured poetry bringing together history, tragedy, and comedy under its roof.

   Poetry in print became more permanet, less permutable: more visual, less aural. But at that time we didn't have a computer to free us from that mental and verbal stiffness.
