#2I saw the headline and assumed the story was going to be that management decided that computer memorization was copyright infringement. Glad it was just a computer acting like a teenager and cursing at the dinner table.

There's a certain human element there that makes this really, really amazing -- a machine with actual personality, molded by what it picks up from its environment. It's like a baby, learning to speak.

Turing himself would be pleased. (Although also probably pretty disappointed that it has taken so long to get this far.)

#6I guess we should be glad they didn't feed it the contents of knowyourmeme.com or we'd have Watson Rick Rolling us on Jeopardy.

#7I like how someone commented on the main article that the time is getting close to where AI can step up to the plate of creativeness and how widespread and easy this will make our lives. Watson is a giant server farm, not a single PC, this stuff won't make a huge impact until IBM can shrink it or until computers get much much faster and smaller. Not that it won't happen, it's just not "around the corner" in any way.

So we won't be seeing Watson talk about the marvels of broscience!

Personally I think it's hilarious. I'm sure having a profane Watson around was a lot of fun.

Might as well just let Watson loose on 4chan/b, then he'd really start rustling people's jimmies.
