At first Watson was getting so many right so quickly it was annoying. But it still made some stranger errrors. What was more annoying still is that the game seemed to be boiling down more to button timing than to thinking ability, as both humans took a while to master the button, but seemed to fare pretty well once they did. Still, I get the big point. AI is coming. Getting those 2880 processors into a laptop is only 11 to 15 years away. Any why in the world they didn't have any of Kurweil's speech recognition in there is anyone's guess, as that would have been far more impressive, and only taken a processor or 2 more.
