The Watson hype was totally bogus. The only reason the thing won was because it had an unfair advantage at buzzing in for the answer...You could see Jennings and the other guy were frustrated because they knew the answers but couldn't beat the machine to the buzzer. That's got nothing to do with knowledge or intellect. In fact that's been one of the weaknesses of Jeopardy. A contestant who has run up a big lead isn't necessarily the most knowledgable, but the fastest....

Ken: What is Love?
Alex: Correct
Watson: Love is an illogical human emotion which hinders the progress of man, in essence making humans illogical. Humanity is an imperfect species which must be remedied in order to obtain perfection...by any means necessary
@zunedog31 I recorded those 3 days- I'm sure someone will upload it (especially with Ken practially bowing down to the computer on his final Jeopardy answer). You'll have to see it, because he puts a funny comment in his answer!
@jeremy132 yeah, you won't hear me saying the same! I say, if they try to take over the world, pull their plugs! They can't run without electricity (yet!)... Duh, duh, dummm.... The computers are going to take over the world when they learn how to function without being plugged in!!!
i dunno. out of all the info in the world...how do they know what to program into watson for the game. something is suspect. now if they give all contestants before hand a guide as to what will likely be asked then i could believe this
@jcarsony It has a bunch of encyclodedias and other sources in it that plus 15+TB ram 2880 3.55ghz 8 core processors and many different algorithms to find the right answer running at the same time. Oh it also wikipedia downloaded onto it. I think it could do it.
What's Watson's last name? SKYNET?! You'd think these batshit scientists have never seen Terminator. The second that thing utter the words "I'll be back" were doomed
@VolcanicPenguin Unless someone programs them with no limitations and the program that they do have is basically learn, survive, and make desicions then yes we can have a GLaDOS on our hands someday.
That's what God thought about the angels.. and now we have Satan.. it's a vicious circle really. Knowledge breeds evil if not guided by honor. Even if it is just a story.. it's something people 5000 years ago figured out.
There are very obvious benefits to this technology. A search engine capable of returning more specific results would return quite a bit of profit. The ability to add natural language parsing into it would make it easier to perform audio searches while driving in the car, with an automated response.
Longer term benefits lead to a computer being able to ask and answer it's own questions, converse with humans on a higher level and eventually fully artificial intelligence.
On the face of it, it looks very impressive but if you ask it a question like - 'If John is taller than Mary, is Mary sorter that John?' it will be stumped .
think about the ibm computer that be the grandmasters in chess. did it take over the world? were there any consequences as a result of its production? NO! so this a just a another step into the future
so can we expect one of these HAL 9000s to maybe in a few years decide who gets the organ transplants? or be in charge of battle tactics? how about perhaps run a company? or be in charge of controlling remote controlled weaponry such as uavs automated drones and those nice remote control hummvees they are working on.
call me stupid but you give something the ability to think and learn anything.does anyone think of the consequences of doing that with a child? because this it what this watson is
@alextheromanian my problem is hal was dumb as fuck, but somehow you're alot dumber
this is pretty pointless, computer's strength is in lossless trivia, that is not how human memory works so this is pretty fuckin pointless, but i can see how it would be exciting to the average dumb fuck out there
Why are people hung up on the Jeopardy angle. This machine can recognise human voices, think about what is being asked and answer the question. Jeopardy is merely being used to show the capabilities of Watson. It's NOT a Jeopardy machine. It's a breakthough. It's fantastic.
My Science Teacher That Us Humans In 25 Years Went From Car Phones, To Microwaves, To The Internet, To Cell Phones, And Now To Watson. He Said That In China, They Are Making Robots That Act Like Humans, Talk Like Humans, Feel Like Humans, Move Like Humans, Ect. Just Wait Until 25 Years From Now, What Will Happen In The Science And Math Catagories Of Learning?....
I would love to see this technology available one day more compact and micro sized IN THE FUTURE.
i really want to see this technology become available maybe it doesn't have to be as fast.. or as large i hope. but an AI chip "FOR ENTERTAINMENT OR LEARNING/BUSINESS" either to help or suggest. ever used a rocket launcher in halo for a grunt? i wanna see this thing play a MMO OR A ROM.
so it can hear what you say, answer you, and do it all in like 1 second do you think it could be put in schools with horrible teacher to student ratios
Alex Trebek absolutely didnt get the point. Jeopardy, this fancy tv completition against human, thats just IBM PR for this marvelous complex project. It's not about computers playing trivia fact games
@Czeckie but it is though...thats why they put it into jeopardy in the first place, not just because they needed questions designed for humans, but also because jeopardy is already so popular in america.
Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content consuming 4 terabytes of hard disk storage. I must be missing something here, okay so we have a computer (Watson) and it can receive the input (question) , search for the answer in its database (processes) and it provides the answer (output). Why are we playing against a computer? Stupid, of course it will beat you. Just like a calculator is better at math than you.
Get fuckin real. Computer only does calculations so it can somewhat go through the words and sort them out and get the final answer, it will never have a fuckin brain.... to actually understand the fuckin topic which has no relevant relation to the questions....hmm kinda shady. plus knowing which questions were picked and everything its another program to run..i think the whole thing was a big set-up, the questions were already loaded on to the drive and all that sort of shit... i call it BS
@Voroshilova You are an idiot. Have you heard of Alan Turing? Are you aware of the Turing test? Do you have any education in computers? In the human brain? You might as well say that airplanes are fake and when you see people being transported from one place to another it's their twin.
@thegothmog pffft wtf do you know about computers bub... and i never heard of that shit cuz im from russia.. we got our own geniuses that came up with that shit...
@Voroshilova Well I'm a programmer, and I've taken over a dozen classes on computer science so far. Alan Turing is one of the most important names in computer science, I don't care if you're from Russia. Russian computers follow the same architecture as computers in the rest of the world. Anyway, read up on the Turing test.
@Voroshilova you are a dumb ass they already have program that hear words and type them so they obviously can comprehend speech and once they comprehend what the question is they have data bases they can access on the internet to find the answer no it doesn't have a brain but it can answer just about any question you can ask it the only hard part would be getting it to understand puns and wordplay so basically you are an idiot don't open you mouth when you don't know what you're talking about
@Pohto100 Its not allowed to access the internet during the competition, and speech recognition isn't accurate enough to use that. It uses the picture of the question, analyses that, and then answers a question using its database of World Book Encyclopedia, a downloaded copy of Wikipedia, Most of the New York times archive, and a variety of other sources.
This is fucking bullshit and a marketing ploy. Come on people, do you really think they would invest in a "Supercomputer" to play Jeopardy? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
To the comment that the game was "fixed" by IBM, that's "hogwash". The TV network has a legal obligation of fairness to all its contestants so that all games are fair, or risk the legal fall out when prize money is at stake. To the question of "who gets the money", the answer is charity. IBM donated 100% of the proceeds to charitable foundations.
I am jeopardizing my status however the truth must come out "Watson" is a flawed computer that has not functioned properly since its creation The opponents were told & paid to lose on purpose so that IBM would be able to market their system to various fields; Customer Service Finance Healthcare Government educational & the like Do not be fooled by what you are viewing for its a dangerous ploy as expressed above I bid you all adieu & I beseech you not to "buy into" IBM or other individual's lies

I am jeopardizing my status, however the truth must come out. "Watson" is a flawed computer that has not functioned properly since its creation. The opponents were told and paid to lose on purpose so that IBM would be able to market their system to various fields...economic, medical, government, educational and the like. Do not be fooled by what you are viewing for its a dangerous ploy as expressed above. I bid you all adieu and I beseech you not to "buy into" IBM or other individual's lies.
damn looks like we really r heading to our dreamed future. but to let machines be built with knowledge that could possibly help companies i think is a bad idea. the human world would constantly rely on the machine instead of themselves thus preventing new ideas and thoughts to be created let alone any new innovations.
It would be really good to see this interlinked with something to give it more personality and make it more human. Something like Cleverbot. Although, Cleverbot is pretty accurate, it might even beat Watson already. A big computer Jeopardy competition would be good.
For all you people saying it is comprehending verbal questions...it's not the information is being sent to him via a laptop in the audience with the question which he then breaks the question apart into key words then he enters those key words into his vast 15trillion byte hardrive which then he takes 3 tops that he believes are most likely to be and desides with % which he wants to answer using fancy algorithms
Don't be mistaken: although this is a "huge library", the idea behind it is to LOAD and LOAD and LOAD... The PROCESS and process FAST! It can replace a human in numerous tasks (much more than i'd like), but of course it won't replace the power to create, the power to invent... well, it can help a lot in that too, but only as cooperation. I know... we're screwed...
Don't be so sure you would have a chance to do it :) You see, one of the greatest capabilities of these systems is to analyze and monitor things. A simple thing like an attack would be very easy to deal with lol - joking a bit, but don't put a blindfold on yourself... These are really powerful machines and they are able to perform way too many tasks right now...
@Lyeon It's not the knowledge that the computer has that is impressive - it's the ability to comprehend the verbal question to find the correct answer. Have you ever called your electric company and gotten their automated answering system? Pretty rudimentary, right? Now imagine being able to ask it about almost anything and getitng an answer faster than a human can provide. Understanding language and context - this is one special computer.
Republican, of course... until the technology to create an emotion chip is developed that over-rules it's own intellect with hysteria and fear of being disliked for uttering an unpopular truth... then it will become a liberal Democrat.
I'm confused. Since this is a computer, wouldn't it always be faster and have more data (=smarter) than a human being? Would it not just hit the buzzer or button and then quickly search the answer? I don't understand.
@drbayoms The problem here is that Jeopardy questions are built to be difficult to tell what they're asking. Yes, a computer can quickly look up the correct answer *if it's seen the question before*. Computers have a traditionally difficult time figuring out human language in general, especially if questions are worded to be confusing (notice Google can only answer questions that have already been asked by other people).
@drbayoms While human players often try to time the release of the buzzer, then figure out the answer, Watson was programmed to not hit the buzzer (and yes, it had to use the same style of buzzer as the human players) until it found a question it considered likely enough. That's why the human players were able to buzz in on answers where Watson did find a question - it didn't reach it fast enough.
lol how stupid is that... they loaded this computer with all information on wikipedia.. and you could see it would always press the buzzer faster than all the other contestants lol.. unbalanced
@zamrock20 that and it failed a question that asked about what U.S. city had an airport named after a WW2 veteran, and it answered with a Canadian city.
The Watson hype was totally bogus. The only reason the thing won was because it had an unfair advantage at buzzing in for the answer...You could see Jennings and the other guy were frustrated because they knew the answers but couldn't beat the machine to the buzzer. That's got nothing to do with knowledge or intellect. In fact that's been one of the weaknesses of Jeopardy. A contestant who has run up a big lead isn't necessarily the most knowledgable, but the fastest....

This is fucking bullshit and a marketing ploy. Come on people, do you really think they would invest in a "Supercomputer" to play Jeopardy? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

To the comment that the game was "fixed" by IBM, that's "hogwash". The TV network has a legal obligation of fairness to all its contestants so that all games are fair, or risk the legal fall out when prize money is at stake. To the question of "who gets the money", the answer is charity. IBM donated 100% of the proceeds to charitable foundations.

damn looks like we really r heading to our dreamed future. but to let machines be built with knowledge that could possibly help companies i think is a bad idea. the human world would constantly rely on the machine instead of themselves thus preventing new ideas and thoughts to be created let alone any new innovations.
dvlshboy94 1 year ago
It would be really good to see this interlinked with something to give it more personality and make it more human. Something like Cleverbot. Although, Cleverbot is pretty accurate, it might even beat Watson already. A big computer Jeopardy competition would be good.

For all you people saying it is comprehending verbal questions...it's not the information is being sent to him via a laptop in the audience with the question which he then breaks the question apart into key words then he enters those key words into his vast 15trillion byte hardrive which then he takes 3 tops that he believes are most likely to be and desides with % which he wants to answer using fancy algorithms

Don't be mistaken: although this is a "huge library", the idea behind it is to LOAD and LOAD and LOAD... The PROCESS and process FAST! It can replace a human in numerous tasks (much more than i'd like), but of course it won't replace the power to create, the power to invent... well, it can help a lot in that too, but only as cooperation. I know... we're screwed...

Don't be so sure you would have a chance to do it :) You see, one of the greatest capabilities of these systems is to analyze and monitor things. A simple thing like an attack would be very easy to deal with lol - joking a bit, but don't put a blindfold on yourself... These are really powerful machines and they are able to perform way too many tasks right now...

A 16 year old and a macbook, with access to Google and Wikipedia can beat most humans. Let alone a super-computer with scripts.

Lyeon 1 year ago
@Lyeon It's not the knowledge that the computer has that is impressive - it's the ability to comprehend the verbal question to find the correct answer. Have you ever called your electric company and gotten their automated answering system? Pretty rudimentary, right? Now imagine being able to ask it about almost anything and getitng an answer faster than a human can provide. Understanding language and context - this is one special computer.

gmx1100 1 year ago
I'm confused. Since this is a computer, wouldn't it always be faster and have more data (=smarter) than a human being? Would it not just hit the buzzer or button and then quickly search the answer? I don't understand.
drbayoms 1 year ago
@drbayoms The problem here is that Jeopardy questions are built to be difficult to tell what they're asking. Yes, a computer can quickly look up the correct answer *if it's seen the question before*. Computers have a traditionally difficult time figuring out human language in general, especially if questions are worded to be confusing (notice Google can only answer questions that have already been asked by other people).
puponpup 1 year ago
@puponpup Ok, I think I have a better understanding of the Watson phenomenon. Thanks for replying!
drbayoms 1 year ago
@drbayoms While human players often try to time the release of the buzzer, then figure out the answer, Watson was programmed to not hit the buzzer (and yes, it had to use the same style of buzzer as the human players) until it found a question it considered likely enough. That's why the human players were able to buzz in on answers where Watson did find a question - it didn't reach it fast enough.
