Listen, we all know that robots are going to take over the world any second now. But do they have to be so freaking smug about it? Take Watson, the terrifying Jeopardy-playing robot who resembles the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey and has a voice that makes everything sound like an advertisement for hand cream. Watson will compete against Jeopardy grand masters Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings in a “Human Vs. Machine” showdown that will air Feb. 14-16. However, there’s a video of a press demonstration circulating the Internet, and it doesn’t look good, fellow humans. Watson walks away from this round with a serious lead. However, there is a silver lining: Watson fails miserably in the category “Children’s Book Authors.” Awww, what’s the matter, Watson? You never read Dr. Seuss when you were a kid? Oh, that’s right: You were never a kid. Stupid robot. Check out the video below:Â

This just made me laugh out loud SO HARD! haha
Seconded.
*Stupid robot.
I don’t understand why anyone thinks the people could be a robot. It’s a computer. It can hold all the information in the world.
I didn’t think anyone was thinking people could be a robot…
CYBERMEN!!!!
Watson was only ahead of Ken Jennings by $1000, not that great of a lead. It will be interesting to see the full matches, though.
This was only a practice round. Not part of the actual competition.
Fracking Cylons.
you know…if SyFy hadn’t cancelled Caprica, we could have learned how the robots took over and had prevented it…
A man must create the initial robot and program it.
Power down, robot. That is an earthman order!
And I for one welcome our new trivia robot overloads!
Or overlords. :/
If they do take over, i bet they will remember that comment and you may be the first on their list to go
yeah developing advanced Ai is stupid and totally useless! i’m so mad an unconscious machine won a gameshow!
