Back in 1975 IBM or one of it's team unofficially stated it would take a two story computer the size of the state of Texas to replicate the capabilities of the human brain. I know Watson does not rival the complete human brain in all areas of intellect and process, but I still wonder how large it really is.M.
Watson capabilities are impressive, but they are also narrow in scope when compared to the human brain. The human brain does a lot more than applying a semantic searches against a huge database.
As you can tell from the post, I am in complete agreement. Watson has a limited functional set to be sure but still for what it does it is amazing. The human brain far surpasses we can produce or program, however listening to the news I often wonder if some people are using even a half a percent of what they have between their ears. 🙂
