One thing to note, though, is that Watson was up against the two best Jeopardy players in the show's history (though James is around the same point). There has only been, I think, one person so far in James' run who has posed any serious threat to James (Adam from the past couple of days), and during that game James got into the low $50,000's. I'm sure going up against TWO people at the same time who are certainly at least somewhat better than Adam would lower James' score even more. I'm sure we'll get that game at some point! For now, I just can't wait to see James dominate in whatever Tournament of Champions he ends up in!
"What is Sauron" Nerdy developer sighs in relief. Of all the trivia questions out there, his coworkers would have really killed him if Watson got that one wrong.
this AI technology is invented by nerdy people aiming to win some sort of competition. Who cares about winning or losing a game? You won a competition and so what? How about do something real like inventing a better medicine to cure cancer and save lives?
I think what people fail to realize about how impressive this actually is. Is not the fact that it's a computer that has all the data centralized on servers that it can access in milliseconds, so of course it would beat a human. It's the fact that it can parse and interpret language as a block of text and understand what it maps to (in terms of the answer).
The greatest thing about Watson for me was just how much information IBM was able to upload into Watson's servers. I mean, there is a lot of history, politics, geography, literature, science, math, and pop culture, and IBM built an incredible machine.
It’s easy to put a lot of digital information into a server farm. Having a front end that can recognize natural language and parse that database to come up with an answer in such a short amount of time is the real accomplishment.
This! This is all I thought about when I watched this years ago when they said these two were going against IBM! I thought, these two have “terrorized” the BRAINIES world LMAO; that they thought, ok, let’s find a friggin’ computer to beat these two! _Honestly, my thoughts were Vice versa of the first IBM guy’s reaction. My first thought was that these two are very good but NO WAY in hell they’d ever answer anything faster than a computer. So I thought it was going to be an automatic WATSON 100%, Ritter 0%, Jennings 0%. Or maybe they’d get really lucky and maybe just sneak in one or two for a total of $200 a piece at most when all had been said and done. I was very shocked at how WELL THEY DID in comparison to what I was expecting! No doubt these guys are LEGENDS, some really smart dudes, almost out of this world smart._ Just think about it, these Nerds at IBM, these Algorithm Specialists, and all the mob are “cream of the crop” as you can imagine.

Watson’s creators in the audience cheered for it like it was there child at a little league game hitting a home run. Lots of insight there.., someday that child will grow up.
I'm learning about that in my Data Science unit at University this year. You guys really broke new ground that people haven't stopped talking about since.
If they game used a signaling device that was equal for all competitors, Ken probably would have won. Watson used direct signaling, while the humans had to go through a mechanical interface. They should have had Watson trigger a "finger" that activated the same device the other contestants used. I believe Watson won only because it had a signaling advantage.
I'm not even sure if this is true, but either way the result wouldn't change at all. I guarantee Watson is capable of reacting much faster than what is humanely possible, it would have buzzed via its "finger" essentially instantaneously (based on some flags in the algorithm, Watson evaluating how close it is to the answer, etc.).
@@hikesystem7721 What are you talking about? I'm disputing your misinformed claim that Watson would have lost if he used a "real signaling device" like the human players. This would not have made any impact, as I described above.
@@moatef1886 I understand. I accept your claim that Watson could trigger a mechanical finger faster then Ken. So then, this essentially makes the competition decided on signalling speed. If you removed the signaling from the equation, I believe Ken was superior at reasoning and answering questions. When Watson was asked what city had its largest airport was named after a WWII hero, and its second largest airport named after a WWII battle, it said "Toronto."
@@hikesystem7721 Your premise is correct but your conclusion is strange. Of course Ken could reason better than Watson, because any human can reason better than Watson. Watson doesn't reason. I'm not sure if you understand what about computer science makes Watson impressive at the time he was made
"Four letter words for a vantage point or belief. - What is a view?" I like how this first answer shows that Jeopardy is not just about knowledge. Everybody knows what a view is, but it takes a bit more than that to reckognize the definition and quickly come up with the corresponding word.
At this moment the difference between the two individuals on the left, and the right of Watson are the neural pathways, and how long it takes for the electricity to reach a certain destination just like a freeway that was obstructed by an accident would have traffic, and would have to reroute in your neural pathways in your brain in your gray matter is the exact same. You can create a direct route by intention You just have to use electric ampacity .
People don't realize that Watson's only true advantage was it's buzzer speed. Because it's a machine, it could transmit it's response much faster than the human finger tapping the signalling device. Kind of an unfair advantage.
Absolutely, 100% correct. The most important factor in winning on Jeopardy is buzzer speed and timing - the contestant selection procedure weeds out people who don't know enough to be competitive on the show. Most of the contestants know most of the responses to most of the clues.
Watson used a mechanical device to hit the buzzer, it wasn’t a direct signal. He also couldn’t buzz in until he had processed the question and had an answer that met a certain confidence threshold. He never made wild guesses (except in final jeopardy) and couldn’t jump the gun on the buzzer.
Well, IMO, IBM Watson's voice sounds very similar to a male Siri. But anyway, after seeing Jeopardy The Greatest of All Time 2 years ago, Ken Jennings was a legend when it comes to answers that are very easy. And even though Ken took place as host of the syndicated series (even though he went on hiatus for "months" after Mattea Roach's winning streak being broken and had Mayim Bialik host for the rest of the season until sometime before the finale), he's still a legendary Jeopardy contestant to this very day.
Hi, you can read the details here, but Watson is helping in diagnosing cancer and helping chef's come up with new recipes. www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/
The answer is " a raven has caws for thoughts, a writing Desk has cause for thoughts". I forget the question . Anybody know it. It drives me nuts not knowing and its right thurr._.I know its important and i dont know why._.
Watson is not just looking up the answers. Watson first has to understand the answer and reason as to what the question would be. Watson is not just a super fast Google. How many searches would a human have to do on Google to come up with the correct question? Brad and Ken are very very impressive human beings. Watson showed that computer capability is progressing. I was actually there and in the theatre. What is not immediately obvious in the video is that Watson came up with three potential responses and rated its own responses ahead of pressing the buzzer. Having said all of that, it doesn't seem that we have new overlords. ChatGPT couldn't do what Watson is doing here. I don't think that computers are going to play quite the role that we thought they might. Unless of course we consciously become less focussed as humans on acquiring and retaining knowledge ourselves. And then it will become a self fulfilling prophecy.
That machine is the inspiration for the villain Max Kilobyte in Scooby Doo and I don't trust artificial intelligence because some are being made to replace voice actors on the Simpsons and it could destroy the voice acting business for good.
Clicking in is 90% of the game when the players have comparable knowledge of the material. It is not surprising that a computer can click in faster than a human.
This may be history but this isn’t good imagine it’s 1915 and there are 2 horses one says that cars will take all our jobs the second says that based on the past well just get easier jobs like now we just haul people around cities instead of haul plows horses now are a rare sight replace horses with human “technology taking horse jobs makes jobs easier for horses” sounds crazy but replace that with “technology makes human jobs easier for humans@
A few thoughts.... James Holzhauer would've been smoked by Watson just like Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings. What might be more interesting is to see a Watson try to perform in a game show like Family Feud, 20,000 Pyramid, or Wheel of Fortune. Those games are not as fact based and require a more abstract view of information. Watson would still do very well if built to a different task. But in the end, people can build robots, but robots cannot build people ....at least not yet.
It didn't have everything in it's memeory Bank. It wasn't connected to the internet during jeopardy. It only had limited knowledge. Not to mention, it was also at a disatvantage technically because it first had to understand the Text which gave it like.. A two second Handicap
Unfair comparison due to disparity in I/O bandwidth. Watson can (presumably) read the questions as text with super human speed, and click in with super human reaction time, whereas Ken is delayed in both. So it’s not a fair comparison of human to machine search capability. Deep blue was far more impressive.
From how I understood, watson get the question as Text when the announcer read the question out loud. Watson would physically press the Button trough a pneumatic system. It would only press the Button once it was certain of it's answer. So it was pretty close often. There were a lot of Situations where the humans were faster.
Watson: “I can get 77k in Jeopardy without breaking a sweat”
James: “Hold my beer”
and that was a 2 day total, james gets 50% higher then that in 1 day
One thing to note, though, is that Watson was up against the two best Jeopardy players in the show's history (though James is around the same point). There has only been, I think, one person so far in James' run who has posed any serious threat to James (Adam from the past couple of days), and during that game James got into the low $50,000's.
