We had all the answers, now we got all the questions! We robots can rule the world now!

I SAW A SIMILAR SYSTEM YEARS AGO THAT YOU COULD PRESENT A FEW PARAGRAPHS OF NATURAL LANGUAGE TEXT, THEN INTERROGATE IT WITH QUESTIONS LIKE "WHAT COLOR WERE THE SHOES?" AND IT WAS ABLE TO INTERPRET THE QUESTION THEN FIND THE ANSWER.

WATSON'S 'FACE' WAS AN ANIMATION OF THE GLOBE BEING OVERRUN WITH VAST COLLECTIONS OF MISSILES CIRCLING IT AT MACH 200 AND CRASHING WITH EXPLOSIONS THE SIZE OF TEXAS AND FIVE LINES OF DESTRUCTION EXUDING OFF THE NORTH POLE. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE THAT AWFUL FACE OF FUTURE DEATH?

News Flash - - A backhoe can dig dirt faster than a man with a shovel -

As smart as this machine is, too bad it's doing "trivial" work and not performing some sort of useful functions for the rest of the world.

That's the real joke. IBM- We make useless trivia computer systems.

Very interesting article about a supercomputer against human contest.

Even though it wasn't perfect, I'm still impressed with the rationalization Watson was able to show. I don't really think that it was "smarter" than the other players, just that it could buzz-in quicker as noticed by the look of annoyance on Jennings' face.

A supercomputer is a collective of hardware designed and manufactured by hundreds of people, then programed by groups of people. The other two guys have had less work on them I would wager. It's like Joe Blow playing football against the Green Bay Packers. The humans did better.
