Now that Watson has played what ideas can we use for him?

[Jeffg010]

I say Watson would be perfect for information booths in major cities or airports walk up to him and ask a question and get a what you need about the city.

 

[CrazyAznDriver]

I say we plug him into our nuclear weapons program so we take the human factor out of the equation.

Use him to direct calls on customer support phone lines. You tell him what the problem is and he'll send the calls to the right person. It would really help the call center's efficiency.

Call in and say they undercharged you on your cable bill: Get sent right to a person that can fix that error.
Call in and say they overcharged you on your cable bill: Get sent to an endless loop of hold music and messages that say "Your call is important to us"

See how much that can help the company out?

 

[DesiPower]

Out source his job a and see how he reacts?

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Watson for pres imo.

 

[Arcadio]

I say the US should take over Canada, with Watson's brain power as a negotiation tool.

how about crawling the web for porn and indexing/categorizing it for our convenience.

generate solutions to problems that violate rule 34

 

[JTsyo]

I would think any kind of research where you have large data pools, in which the data is in common language, he could pull out the needed info.
FBI can probably let him loose on social sites to keep track of illegal activity. No more fooling the filter by using slang or known code words.

 

[amdhunter]

USB Fleshlight attachment, or maybe a Holodeck?

 

[RavenSEAL]

Burger king drive-thru lady!

I think that was already part of the plan... why else would it think that Toronto was already a US city

Ignorant Amerikanzy. There are many Torontos in the USA...

God... don't you ever watch ANY scifi movies? This ALWAYS ends up with the computer nuking the shit out of humanity "for humanity's sake", because humanity is irrational and the only way to save humanity is destroy it.

turn it into a love tester and install it at moes where it will become haunted by abe simpson

 

[gorcorps]

Watson won? Well mother fuck... I avoided the other thread cuz I had the series DVRed for the weekend.

Thanks fucker, hope you rot in hell.


Note: I'm kidding, but the point still stands. Spoilers shouldn't be allowed in titles. Especially when there's another thread about the same thing.

 

[surfsatwerk]

The only thing Watson taught us is that Robots will kill us all.

 

[Jeffg010]

lol

 

[darkewaffle]

Ask him if he knows how much wood those woodchucks really chuck.

 

[wuliheron]

All the really good new tech gets used by the government first.

For example, Watson can monitor the internet for terrorist activity. Whenever he gets a positive hit the government can then analyze how he came to that conclusion and tweak their search engines. No doubt he'll think of things a person never would.

 

[DougK62]

Skynet! Ahhhhh!

Watson will show up on the next episode of House. House will refuse to use Watson until the end. Watson will say it is lupus. The team will finally agree.

think it would be the other way around. Humans would think of things that computers can't. In Watson's case he can't even come up with guesses, what he's good at is looking up data and try to find what you're looking for.

Why are we negotiating at all?
