Computers taking over

By Tangotiger, 07:41 PM

IBM’s computer Watson v Jeopordy champions.  Really fun to watch.

I love a comment from another forum:

Trebek: “This prominent woman and mother of a future leader was assassinated in her home in 1984.”

Watson: “Who is Sarah Connor.”

Trebek: “No, I’m afraid thats incorrect; the correct answer is Indira Ghandi.”

Watson: “Wait, what about 1991?”

Trebek: “No, I’m afraid that would be when her son, Rajiv Ghandi was assassinated.”

Watson: “I’ll be back”
