Not exactly the Turing Test

IBM has an AI system called Watson, and they've teamed up with the New York Times to let you battle it in a Jeopardy-style matchup. In this set piece it's kind of hard to tell just how good Watson really is, I can imagine trying to replicate its performance with nothing but the Google API and not doing too badly. In any case, I'm proud to say I went five-for-five in the What Me Worry category, and then wisely dropped out while I was ahead.
