Jeopardy girls
DH and I watched last night ...we laughed so hard when Watson guessed the same answer as Ken Jennings and Alex T said 'no .... Ken just guessed that!'

i want Watson to win ... though it prob means the Robot Apocalypse is on the way

Re: Jeopardy girls
DH and I enjoyed it
it was just the first round of Jeopardy (double jeopardy is tonight) ... they put in a lot of BS about how Watson works and how 'he' was created and whatnot (though i'm a nerd so i totally loved that they told us)

Re: Jeopardy girls
it was interesting...i'm not sure how i felt about it. at first i was like 'geez watson is super fast this is almost unfair...' but then it evened out a bitbut yes, when alex was like 'ken just said that' and 5 mins earlier he had explained to the audience that watson can't 'hear'...so i was like well how is watson supposed to know that ken just said that?

yeah, i was reading an article about that earlier .... you can't buzz in until after Alex finishes reading the clue. A human can hear the clue so he can time buzzing in ... but the computer just gets a signal of sorts when it's time so there's technically a slight disadvantage.
either way - as a computer person, i find it extremely really cool that it works (even if it's not perfect yet)

Re: Jeopardy girls
we watched and I laughed at the same part! I do not want Watson to win! Ken never has any time to buzz in. the computer is so quick

HAHA! We watched it last night too and DH looks at me all serious and goes 'This Watson is the beginning of Terminator! The world is going to end, you watch! Computers think for themselves! Not good!' I couldn't help but laugh and then put that as my FB status LOL!

they're nowhere near thinking ... Watson is kind of like a fancy search engine at this point.
