Ed Norton:
> I mean after the novelty wears off...

No novelty here. I'm an information glutton. I find the utility to be
utterly worthless for anything more complex than time-of-day and
weather questions (and it fails many weather questions. Ask it for
yesterday's high temperature.)

One problem I see is lack of initiative on Apple's part. Apple is
heavily involved with IBM. Why isn't Siri a front end for "IBM's
Watson?" That would be an improvement.

Make no mistake, though; Watson is not an "AI." ³AI² is marketing hype,
a purposely made myth at best, a hoax at worst. It does not exist if
the standard of comparison is Homo sapiens. We often make human
intelligence the butt of jokes, but the fact is that as far as we know,
we are the only smart things in the Universe.
