I watched the final episode of the contest between IBM's Watson, a computer system, and two great human players, on Jeopardy. Watson won. But, as a Wired commentator says, the real lessons from this match are how good, and how efficient, the human brain is. I was thinking the same thoughts, but he published first, and probably said it better.
Thanks for reading. Use your brain!
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).

The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
I saw bits and pieces about that Jeopardy - - - though I did not watch it.
ReplyDeleteI already knew from all the OTHER Jeopardy shows I HAVE watched - - - as well as from other experiences - - - that the human brain is QUITE a wonder.
Thanks, Keetha!
