I'm probably late to the conversation, but what do you guys think about Watson?

It's kind of creepy to have a computer that comes so close to actually thinking, but "I for one embrace our new computer overlords."

I think its pretty sick that they've managed to get a computer to actually understand normal human speech, which is far greater an achievement than most people realize... but they still have a lot of work to do - and still need to downsize the system from several server bays before the technology is practical.

It's not practical for home computing, but thankfully we live in an age where we don't need to have the computer right next to us to use it. We just need another computer with internet or LAN access.

Once it starts being used commercially, I bet a lot of Watsons will be bought and prostituted out (not in a bad way) to industries that couldn't afford the millions to buy one themselves.

They say it'll help with medical diagnoses and similar problems.

It'll be like Dr. House, except it won't need vicodin to have good ideas and will only ever just look at the symptoms and patient history.

Since incorrect diagnosis is a major problem in medicine, that'd definitely be a great application of the technology.
