can you expand on that for those of us who don't know much about the field?

That's not very nice.
Sorry, I honestly thought you were joking.

'Watson' as it is sold today is a mishmash of random, separate services. You can get the same from Google, MS or multiple other places.

'Watson' the jeopardy winning thing was an ensemble of search and rule-based NLP techniques.

Neither are much like general AI.
