"I don't care to consort with the robot race" ~Unknown Henson~
Im all about random trivia games. spent a good deal of my childhood eating dinner while watching geopardy but I never thought much of robots in a positive light. I don't have cable, but I was able to find a full episode of geopardy on youtube with IBM's Watson computer/robot/screen face, whatever it's called. It's pretty impressive how fast "Watson" was at answering questions, and it kept the other contestants on their toes but left them in the dust. I beat the computer with a few questions and it felt pretty good, and I did find it amuseing that some of the answers were miss interpereted by the machine. The question was about car racing through city streets and roads and the robot kept repeating auto racing, auto racing. the answer was rally racing. With the two best geopardy contestants of all time losing to a robot I don't see how an entire season of geopardy featuring Watson would be enjoyable to watch.
