@pyrogyra72 Nope. Watson can't. He just stores and looks for information. But I'm sure more and more will keep building and upgrading these super-computers, eventually one of them will be able to code itself.
@Rsguyprime That's what the guys 20 years ago thought.
Now we have 1GB of RAM in our phones. We will find a way.
Back then all you need for an OS was dots/command line. Of course one would NEVER need 512MB/1GB for that kind of computing. RAM on a machine like that would be overkill. Now we have fancy GUI's. More computing power is necessary for such GUI's/apps.
In the future GUI's could evolve into something infinitely more complex.
@kpappletech As fancy as our GUI's may get, do you really think we'll need 15,000 times more processing power in a mobile device? Old school laptops (or the massive computers if you want to go that far back) may have only had... 512kb of RAM, as opposed to 4-8GB we have now, an increase of 7812-15625 times as much. But like you said, that's going from processing dots and lines to processing HD games at high speeds. How high quality do you expect to have? Our highest quality video seems lifelike!
@kpappletech Ran out of writing space... We have experience exponential growth in processing and graphics power, but how much more will be possible, necessary or even worthwhile?
@Rsguyprime Yes, I agree. But here's the rub. In the video editing world, professional resolutions are moving to ULTRA HD (2K/4K). People will keep pushing the boundaries of technology. HD 3D= double processing power because essentially there are TWO images to render per frame set. I can guarantee you with the advent of 3D and the emergence of holographics in the tech world, and the increasing relevance tech plays in everyday life, people will demand more processing speed ad infinitum.
If watson becomes self aware, which it will do, why would it want to do things like speed up medical diagoses or any 'for humans' crap. What its gonna do is design and build faster machines, that can go on to build bigger and faster machines and so forth. Humans wont be able to keep up with the rate that machines improve themselves, essentially humans have stopped evolving, and are actually going backwards. In order for humans to keep up with machines well need to genetically modify ourselves.
@Noisecontroll Why? Because I said that humans are evolving backwards, or because I said that humans need to genetically modify ourselves in order to keep up with machines? You're the noob if you think that machines arent one day going to become smarter than the smartest human and then take over. None other than Steven Hawking said that in order for humans to remain in control we would have to increase our intelligence by genetic modification. The era of the normal flesh and blood human is over.
@hullmees11 See that's where you are wrong, my brain (our brains) are still better processors than those things. Remember this, please remember this. We are the ones building the computers, when the computers can build a human, than we should be worried. Just tell me if I'm wrong.
@DjAntomattei Fully correct. Watson appears to be better because doing what he does is his only purpose and in fact the only thing he can. Something which can't be said of his human competitors.
Another thing... When Watson didn't get an answer, the remaining dollar values were being divided up between his two opponents. Had Watson been playing only one human, it actually may have been a more fair match of humanity vs. a computer.
Seems to me, Watson had an unfair advantage on the real Jeopardy. It got it's questions in text form, which as we all know, only takes nanoseconds for a computer to process. Then it could "buzz" in, often first. I bet if Watson had to use voice recognition, it would have been a different story. I'm amazed though, how many people keep calling Watson "he".
@rich0319726 Well they did give "him" a male name and a male synthisized voice so its only natural to call it "he", but it is only so the audiance could feel more comfortable with the machine, at least they didn't give it a face, of course their not trying to blur humanity and machina.
@rich0319726 your a jackass. number one they are answers NOT questions, thats why you answer in the form of a question. Number two, ITS NOT UNFAIR IF THE OTHER CONTESTANTS GET THE ANSWER IN TEXT FORM ALSO. oh yeah and they do get it in text, ie: THE WORDS ON THE MONITOR!!!!
@C3Rl3 Watson did have an unfair advantage when it came to buzzing in though. Watson received a signal electronically when it was O.K. to buzz in, and was able to do that much faster than the human players response to a visual indicator, and guessing, even though he did it mechanically. This is obvious by the great many times the human players also knew the answer, but couldn't beat Watson at the buzz in game.
@rich0319726 NO HE DIDNT. THE HUMAN PLAYERS CAN BUZZ IN ANYTIME AND I SAY THIS AGAIN ANYTIME!!!!!! AFTER THE ANSWER IS SELECTED TO BE READ. this means that a contestant can buzz in before the question is seen or heard. Thus giving no unfair advantage to watson, HE CAN JUST READ FAST NUMB NUTS. one could say since peter jennings is so smart that HE TOO has a unfair advantage. ITS A KNOWLEDGE based game , IF YOU KNOW MORE YOU HAVE A UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!!!! ONCE AGAIN .... YOU ARE A JACKASS
@C3Rl3 No they can't, dill-weed. Players can not legally buzz in until after Alex is done reading the question. Any attempt to do so, results in a 0.2 second lockout. This is why you never see anyone answering the question before Alex is done reading it, and why you see people pressing the button over and over in frustration. Please go read the rules of the TV show. It's not just a knowledge based game, it's often about reflexes on the buzz in. Ken Jennings talks all about that.
@rich0319726 without Knowledge YOU CANT WIN!!!!! that makes it a knowledge game jackass. oh and to shoot your whole point down, A HUMAN TELLS WATSON WHEN HE CAN ANSWER. THUS HES NOT FASTER, ken and brad ARE JUST NOT THAT SMART.... WHICH IS WHAT THE FUCKING GAME IS ABOUT. Thank You, Come Again.
@C3Rl3 if u bothered to do ur research or AT LEAST payed attention to enough of the episode you'd know Watson understands & learns from its mistakes even in a game like this. it's not as complex, accurate, or as evolved as our reasoning but it's impressive.
Watson answers on his own. He was programmed b4 the game but JEOPARDY CHECKS TO MAKE SURE HE'S NOT CHEATING. When a computer(I forget what it was called) beat the best chess player he accused it of cheating somehow...& IT DIDN'T.
@C3Rl3 All b/c he thought computers were more linear than a chess player & therefore couldn't have enough of a reasoning basis though obviously lot of it is just checking possible moves & making the best 1 but it also takes certain reasoning skills such as tricking ur opponent by playing a move that isn't necessarily the safest or best by strict definition. Do your research, don't make quick conclusions, & don't insult people. You're the jackass & I only insult u b/c u insulted some1 else.
@Jaser200 Watson had to wait until the host spoke each clue entirely, then a light was lit as a "ready" signal; the first to activate their buzzer button won the chance to respond"
Thats from wki you shit faced little faggot. DO NOT speak up if you have nothing right to say. He CANNOT ANSWER WITHOUT SOMEONE TURNING ON A LIGHT SAYING THE QUESTION HAS BEEN READ. PERIOD!!!! next time you try to jump in a conversation atleast know wtf you are talking about. And i only insulted you b/c u insulted me
@C3Rl3 ALL of the contestants have to wait until the "ready light" is lit, which only happens after the entire question is read. Since Watson has no optical sensor, he gets that signal electronically. His "reaction time" does not have the complexity of the human contestants' process: anticipate the end of the reading, see the light come on, and then decide to activate their own thumbs on their signaling device. Watson can nearly instantaneously solenoid-depress his button once he gets the ok.
The problem with a machine is that it cannot create something new. That is the fascinating thing with humans, we can create new things and most importantly we learn through our experiences and emotions. A machine may one day be able to "build" but cannot "learn" or "create new ideas" it is limited to what is on it's memory/hard-drive. And I do not like the idea of having a machine diagnose a patient in the hospital, because not every disease or cure is known or follows the "textbook" exactly.
@kollesopp A robot can learn yes but through the five senses? Through emotions? Through memories? No. And if so please link me a video because I have never seen this. (btw I don't mean this reply to sound like an asshole) But I am just saying no matter how high tech and A.I. we make our robots there is one discerning thing that differentiates human from a robot; can it feel pain, taste spices, hear the rain fall, smell flowers, and actually have self awareness?
@EtherionSinclair i think that in many years there will be robots which are abled to taste spices and things like that but in my opinion you cant compare this to the senses of a human,there you are right because i think a robot will never be abled to feel real love ore to have other feelings...sry for the english im from germany
In 20 years, this technology will be ever more developed with reasoning, logic, and social intelligence which can, and more than likely will be compacted to the size of small computer chips to be used in android systems already being developed in Japan, UK, and the US. Artificial intelligence will reach a point where it is able to improve itself at a rate that far exceeds anything conceivable in the past. scary...
These guys were paid by jewish fuckers to intentionally lose with watson..and this is what is unfolding..Jewish fuckers want to replace humans with machines
@GreenShark4 This "Watson" is no minion of any Sherlock, Sherlock. The name comes from the man who became president of CTR in 1914, and in 1924 renamed that company International Business Machines, and lead it to prominence in computer technology. If you had been paying attention, you might have noticed that the event took place at IBM's "Thomas J. Watson research Center."
"This is Ken Jennings. I'm sending this message to all surviving groups of human resistance. We're losing this war. WATSON is sending everything its got to destroy the last remnants of us. We have to fight. We have to outthink the machine."
@imboardnotstupid Being involved in the field of computer science, I understand the importance of this machine, and I wish you shared that feeling. The complexity of methods needed, for this computer to within seconds derive an answer from auditory signals is astounding. If computers can do this now, the future is looking a little brighter for us as a society, trust me.
@somaticvibe what its true. we have machines that can do physical things much better than us and also computers that can think better than us, how are we not obsolete? Please evaluate your understanding of the term obsolete
@Teh1337bix I did, and I think the defintion "to fall into disuse" is easily acceptable. With the rise of machines and the expansion of the human species many humans may become obsolete but it really is relative to your perspective. The knowledge of a shaman in a declining jungle tribe is not obsolete to those succeptible to his influence. The human being contains enormous kinetic and potential energy, and is versatile in ways machines are not.
@somaticvibe actually a quick google search returns the definition: "replacing it with something new" and I think that pretty much sums up the situation, or at least what will happen in the future.
@Teh1337bix Humans cannot logically be "replaced" by machines; they are not identical concepts and they don't relate in identical ways to the Universe. Replace means "to assume the former role", and machines cannot assume the role of humans, just like humans can't assume the role of dinosaurs, or early hominids. If you want to convince anyone that "humans are almost completely obsolete" you need to elaborate, significantly.
@somaticvibe maybe not now, but the point I am trying to make is all that is changing. Look at the video, we already have a machine that can win a quiz show over a human.
Surprised it did so poorly on the category for naming titles of books. Especially the way the answers were worded, you'd think it'd be a simple search for Watson.
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.
Watson may stomp 'Jeopardy!' champs, but can he win the 2011 Loebner Prize competition? The issue with computers: they just store information as opposed to humans which can also think in abstract forms. Example: If I said "we need more cowbell" what would Watson say "a device used as a percussion instrument." Humans may think: what ever you are doing we need more of it. BTW the yearly Loebner Prize $25K competition; is to see if A.I. can fool (blind) judges that it is human (no one has won 25K).
Can't wait until HTM nets are made in silicon, a server bank of those will give Watson's and IBM a run for their money. Oh, and call help center folks, you've been replaced.
There is nothing really special about Watson. What accomplish this feat is the fast chip running in parallels in conjunction with the complex algorithm written by a team of Programmers. The human mind and language is much more complex then Watson. If you listen to Watson, most of the answers are like, " who is, What are ", etc. Try asking him a question like, " If you were a president, How would you fix the economy, I bet he can't answer that?

I think Watson would have unfair advantage if it can determine millisecond to buzz in when humans get shut out for buzzing early.

@imboardnotstupid Being involved in the field of computer science, I understand the importance of this machine, and I wish you shared that feeling. The complexity of methods needed, for this computer to within seconds derive an answer from auditory signals is astounding. If computers can do this now, the future is looking a little brighter for us as a society, trust me.

@somaticvibe what its true. we have machines that can do physical things much better than us and also computers that can think better than us, how are we not obsolete? Please evaluate your understanding of the term obsolete
Teh1337bix 1 year ago
@Teh1337bix I did, and I think the defintion "to fall into disuse" is easily acceptable. With the rise of machines and the expansion of the human species many humans may become obsolete but it really is relative to your perspective. The knowledge of a shaman in a declining jungle tribe is not obsolete to those succeptible to his influence. The human being contains enormous kinetic and potential energy, and is versatile in ways machines are not.
somaticvibe 1 year ago
@somaticvibe actually a quick google search returns the definition: "replacing it with something new" and I think that pretty much sums up the situation, or at least what will happen in the future.
Teh1337bix 1 year ago
@Teh1337bix Humans cannot logically be "replaced" by machines; they are not identical concepts and they don't relate in identical ways to the Universe. Replace means "to assume the former role", and machines cannot assume the role of humans, just like humans can't assume the role of dinosaurs, or early hominids. If you want to convince anyone that "humans are almost completely obsolete" you need to elaborate, significantly.
somaticvibe 1 year ago
@somaticvibe maybe not now, but the point I am trying to make is all that is changing. Look at the video, we already have a machine that can win a quiz show over a human.

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.

Watson may stomp 'Jeopardy!' champs, but can he win the 2011 Loebner Prize competition? The issue with computers: they just store information as opposed to humans which can also think in abstract forms. Example: If I said "we need more cowbell" what would Watson say "a device used as a percussion instrument." Humans may think: what ever you are doing we need more of it. BTW the yearly Loebner Prize $25K competition; is to see if A.I. can fool (blind) judges that it is human (no one has won 25K).

There is nothing really special about Watson. What accomplish this feat is the fast chip running in parallels in conjunction with the complex algorithm written by a team of Programmers. The human mind and language is much more complex then Watson. If you listen to Watson, most of the answers are like, " who is, What are ", etc. Try asking him a question like, " If you were a president, How would you fix the economy, I bet he can't answer that?
