Default What is Toronto???
So Watson, the IBM supercomputer, has been on Jeopardy. For final Jeopardy, the category is US Cities. Answer: Its largest airport is named after a WW2 hero and its second largest airport is named after a famous WW2 battle.

Answer: Chicago's O'Hare Airport and Midway Airport

Watson's Answer: What is Toronto???

* Imperial facepalms

So much for a supercomputer. I dunno how it failed this question when it raped throughout the entire show. First off, its US cities. Second, it has two airports meaning it has to be a large city. And how many large cities have airports named after actual people? Kennedy (NYC), Reagan (DC), O'Hare (Chicago), etc.

Watson Fail. But it still raped since it only wagered $900 dollars on Final Jeopardy.

I'm fine, I think. Apparently, Chicago isn't an American city, so he won't rule me.

You can't expect it to be perfect, though.

there's a difference between perfect and naming a city which is actually in America.

I had to catch CBS News to see what happened yesterday.

So apparently Brad Rutter and Watson are on 5k each after the J! Round...

----------

Checked on the J! Archive (thank God for that site)

HOW DID IT GET $36 000?!?!?!?!?!

The point of Watson was to show to people that supercomputers can be useful tools, imagine having a medical/engineering/biology version of watson, it would be very useful. inb4 what is heart stroke
