watson fail

wait no, watson is just so beyond human intelligence that it knows that "Toronto" is the right answer for anything.
ugh center of the universe ftw/

Did watson really fail though?

I'm pretty sure watson was trolling. look at the bet. It knew enough that toronto wasn't in USA.

You can see how much they're into it. That's the part I love about research, including my own, even if its a lot less important than a cohesive super neural net lol.

Edit: Seeing Watson's response time, it's getting pretty evident that a human-like AI would have to use organic or bio-chemical based synapse computational nets. Silicon is holding us back.
