Jeopardy to Pit Man Against IBM A.I. for $1 Million

[Drexlor]

Ken will find a way to win.

This.is.awesome.

Honestly, I don't know who to root for. Ken is awesome, but so is an A.I. Plus, if the A.I. wins then more money is donated than if the other two were to win. But I don't want it to become self-aware.

I remember hearing about this a while back. Let's see if I can find the video that went along with it...

Watson: The predecessor of HAL 9000...

Ken will find a way to win.

I think not. Watson will reprogram the answers. >.>

Thats kinda pointless, cause they have to do it program all the answers into it and it already knows, the only way it would lose is if the programmer forgot something. So its basically the contestants versus the programmers.

The AI be represented by some kind of on-screen avatar, hopefully a Terminator bot.

That made me laugh - what a fantastic idea ^_^

Nice video, good find. Just that last phrase sticks with the sci-fi nut in me...

"Watson, you have control!"

Fits slightly too beautifully with "Open the pod bay doors, Hal."
