Watson is an asshole

[FlyingFeralFerret]

True, and in all other facilities, the human brain is still by far the reigning champion of information processing. Watson's fast but take into account that the Jeopardy players' brains aren't just thinking for the answer, it's also processing the vision, sounds, smells, emotions, ect. You get the point. We're still decades away from mimicking the human brain, and even then the job still isn't done.

SUCK IT TREBECK

[Anurag Sharma]

Yeah I know. All I am saying is that Human brain is still tough to beat. It is the most complex machine.

I think you're missing the reason for Watson being built...

What's important is NOT how many people it took to win, but the fact that the people were able to build a MACHINE that's capable of winning

[Anurag Sharma]

It took so many people to beat one. Hmmmm.

If you guys really want to unleash really power of watson you have to let it go...

Make it open source... let ppl find new applications of it.

Ken Jennings knows what's up. Destroy your laptops, all

[FireFistShikmaru]

Thanks! Truly mind-blowing for Watson's performance to translate the question, then parse the data, and analyze the probability prior to hitting the answer button.
