!= and == are tests and not assignments. If you exchange == for !=
you also need to exchange branches of the if else end construct.

As an additional task you could try to rewrite your program to not use
an endless loop ("while true") but rather use the fact that the input
was the empty string as termination condition for the loop. This
would be more natural than breaking out of the loop. The result will
look something like this:
responses = []
???
while ???
responses.push response
end
puts responses.sort
Where "???" are placeholders your code.
Kind regards
