We looked at the cam of it in January in class. Its scary

Think about it: WATSON has to understand what is being said (which is usually very cryptic), figure out the answer, and word it in a question in correct English. And it has to do all of this in less than 2 seconds or it can't hit the buzzer in time. That's borderline creepy that we have AI that can do that

A lot of people I talk to on YuTube are saying things like "our computer overlord" and stuff.

As Taelia was saying:

I, for one, welcome out new computer overlords.

Let the robot revolution commence!!!

When I watch the practice matches, I tend to think it's XANA.

EDIT: I think I am starting to have romantic feelings and/or admiration for WATSON. He took a commanding lead over Ken and Brad, and he sounded mellifluous and sexy for an AI.

EDIT 2: WATSON WINS! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
