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. 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!

roger craig got 77k too

Yeah and this was years ago now. With the improvements made to technology, I'd love to see them do something like this new with James, Ken and Watson.

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?

We need a second showdown for sure

I wasn't too surprised to see James Holzhauer references when I stumbled across this video, hahaha!

Coming in January.

He knows Brad's score was still there.

You mean it can follow syntax? Follow syntax is all computers do.

Technicallu Watson was disconnected from the internet during this :)

thats just not true

@@tiddlewiddle4784 It's a joke

How much mass storage did Watson bring to the game? Did the computer memory include the entire Wikipedia database?

No

ChatGPT4 is not a challenger to Watson for this use case.

And do what?

Don't be afraid of computers be afraid of the developers.🏴‍☠

And that was back in 2011 with no Big data parsing advance techniques.

Watson vs James Holzhauer vs Matt Amodio (or Amy Schneider if she could beat Matt) would be the next match. 😁

@@wazzup233 Watson should just identify as human and enter regular, non-exhibition Jeopardy to beat Amy Schneider and take home the prize money.

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. (Within already smart people, picked for this task). Imagine them loosing sleep making this thing (you know they did lol), they were going to be damned if these two defeated WATSON. The point being, imagine these terribly smart I.T. guyz spending months upon months building something to defeat these two; so they must have been really smart for the whole IBM to agree to shut down one section of operation just to dedicate the funding of resources to create WATSON and pay a pretty penny to the Engineers behind it (as we can imagine). All in the name of trying to beat 2 supposedly really bright guys! _Yes, their investment was worth it in the end I guess to them, for trying to prove their point that they could create a computer that could defeat these two; but the bigger picture everyone outside of IBM folks is thinking, HOW SMART COULD YOU BE TO in a way “TERRORIZED” IBM lol, into a decision to dedicate millions of dollars on a project to try and prove such a point? You have got to be pretty DARN GOOD, pretty friggin’ SMART, ONE who by Golly, is only FOR THE RECORD BOOKS!_ JEEZ! To me, i can’t think there is a greater compliment to these two guyz than that. There are quite a number of people who have won lots of money on various game shows, obviously these two have stood out amongst the brainiacs of not only game shows but this show in particular. Must feel soooooooooo good to be them, WAW. Forever the smart Legends!

A lot of the audience was the people at IBM that worked on making the computer

classic Simpsons quote

same

It is an it.

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.).

@@moatef1886 ok, so it was a signaling competition.

@@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

With ChatGPT (or any modern AI) it would not be close. The humans would barely get any right.

I've responded to your comment above; you seem to think that this has any affect whatsoever on the outcome of the game. Like I stated above, Watson can react probably orders of magnitude faster than humans possibly can, provided it makes a decision to buzz in. It would do so perfectly every time without getting penalized, this isn't even remotely difficult compared to Watson actually giving the correct answers.

They didn't even mention you here, yet you act like they did. If the whole point of the game was to show that no person had a chance against Watson in a Jeopardy game, then it wasn't a real competition to begin with.

@@memenistan3438 they dont have to

You don't let Watson get taught by somebody who wants that to happen.

Watson isn't a aware ai or anything.. It Interprets Text..

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.

If Watson stomped years ago it’ll win every single question this time. Tech has advanced very fast

Yea

So why did he get some questions wrong?

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.

Nah they just sent the text to watson apparently. Voice recognition wasn't good enough, he probably would've lost due to translation errors.
