No, actually Watson tied at 5000
The point is increasing Artificial Intelligence in problem solving, association and learning from patterns.
They we're showing how much Watson actually sucked before. We talked about the timing thing and it really doesn't matter since you have to wait til Alex finishes the answer anyway, plus Watson had been beaten on the timing when he had the right answer.
Tho I probably would've thrown my clicker up in the air and walked off like "I quit!" when Watson got the Daily Double on his first pick. lol
Tied at 5000? I must be either a day ahead or a day behind of you here. At the end of the game that I saw yesterday...Player 1 ended with $4200, Player 3 had about $9000 or $10,000 and Watson had $31,000+, (he missed final jeopardy, but he only bet $940...hahaha, what a perfect ending to a game that he answered about 95% of the questions correctly...) and the kicker was... BOTH of the "humans" got the answer right! LMAO
It would seem that "whoever" could figure out a much more effective way of demonstrating Watsons ability to problem solve. Lol, maybe they should ask Watson, and I bet his answer won't be "play jeopardy".
There's got to be more to this, take google for example, when you start searching for something, google is already showing possible answers before you even finish typing whatever you're searching for. Now we both know thats not A.I., but in that same breath, what if google could "predict" and analyze what you're searching for based on previous searches...that would be A.I. at light speed.
I'm not debating what you're saying... I just don't get the meaning of the test.
