Ah. We're back to the days of Emacs' old `M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead`, then. (Psychoanalyze-pinhead ran the Eliza chat-bot and fed it bizarre quotations collected from the Zippy the Pinhead comics.)

Or better yet, pitting Eliza vs. Parry (https://logic.stanford.edu/complaw/readings/elizaandparry.pd...), where Parry was meant to simulate a paranoid schizophrenic. That was 1973, more than 50 years ago.

Everything old is new again.
