IBM's Watson vs Two champions at Jeopardy!

I watched also. I hope the humans win. And especially Ken Jennings.
 
Watson is tied with Rutter on $5,000 yesterday. I will watch it tonight.
 
I saw today's show. Wow. It looks like the only way to beat Watson would be to hit the answer button before the question is asked!
 
The night ended with Watson at $35,734 Brad Rutter at $10,400, and Ken Jennings at $4,800 after an exciting round of final Jeopardy in which Watson was wrong to answer that Toronto was a U.S. city. Watson fails!! :lol:

Yes, but did you see the question marks after its answer at the end? It was not sure, and did you notice how little it bet? Amazing.

Final clue: U.S. Cities. “Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; its second largest, for a World War II battle.” Ken and Brad both got it correct, with the answer of “What is Chicago?” Watson answered incorrectly with “What is Toronto?????” and lost $947. Toronto is not U.S. Cities.
 
Did watch its older shows that Watson lost twice thru On Demand via Comcast last week or before but missed the latest show. Will catch it on Demand soon. I wouldn't be surprised that Watson, the computer would win someday though earlier than I assumed after learning of news online.

Because it's complex words which machine cannot understand it properly which is good and very trick.
 
We have what Watson doesn't: human hunch and subtlety. :)
