That seems like a stretch unless you can cite something that shows people spun out as a result of using Eliza.

Yes, people felt a sense of Eliza being intelligent but that only went so deep. And yes, it’s very fair to call it advanced for its time. It was really clever.

But I don’t think it lead to shattering anyone’s world view or caused anyone to psychologically spin out.

It’s relevant in the context of giving a history of chatbots. But not in the history of computers making people “go crazy.” IMO
