The IBM super computer Watson bested Jennings and Rutter. Jennings said it best when he wrote on his final Jeopardy scorecard

""I for one welcome our new computer overlords"

Machines 1, Everything That Is Beautiful And Joyous In Our Flawed Human Condition 0.

""I for one welcome our new computer overlords"

You ninja!

I was so gonna post that here.

 

[Veloxe]

I'm going to get worried once we start combining him with those robot arms and then give him kinect eyes.

Spoiler: The future is now!

 

[Corpse XxX]

Is anyone surprised that a computer would win against humans?

Inb4:

Skynet is aware.

 

[SimuLord]

Machines 1, Everything That Is Beautiful And Joyous In Our Flawed Human Condition 0.

Make that machines 2. Big Blue scored the first point.

Wait? What's that sound? Th---that's the Renaissance's music!

And Michelangelo Buonarotti and Leonardo DaVinci, the tag team champions of the world, have entered the ring! And they brought art! Spirituality! The ability to create entirely new ideas out of whole cloth with no pre-existing template from which to work!

And what's this? Look who's coming out of the tunnel!

It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! And he seems hell bent on showing computers that technical perfection is nothing if not tempered with the very soul of the gods themselves!

And it's Franz Schubert! Who in madness achieved the very height of 19th-century orchestral music!

And...what's this? Could it be? Yes! It's Johann Strauss! Bringing whimsy and mastery in equal measure to create music that makes even the most hardened soul want to get up and dance the waltz!

*opening strains to "Draco and Maria" begin to play*

And...my GODS! Nobuo Uematsu, using the power of the computer to cinch the victory for humanity!

*referee starts counting*

ONE! TWO! THREE!

Humanity WINS!

At least I can still enjoy orgasms.

It'll be at least another 3 months before the Japanese invent that for robots!

 

[Watchmacallit]

If his isn't the start of every man killing computer movie I've seen I don't know what is...

The computer that is gonna end us all was on Jeopardy? Evil Over Lord fail.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Honestly can't see how he could lose, they probably had to put a random "wait for others to hit the button" function otherwise he would just play by himself.

I'll start working on the chemical weapons (dissolve the robot's casing) and get my physics friends to work on the EMP pistols.

[sub]I was too. Ken Jennings is my hero[/sub]

 

[LiudvikasT]

I hope we create true AI soon. I can't wait forever to betray humanity.
