During my time in IBM I was walking by the "main" Watson server everyday into work. I was always impressed at the package, and what ever they said it could do.

Finally got my hands on it and was incredibly disappointed. Lacking features, archaic interface, and not delivering on what it was promised. Talked to some guys working for the Watson team and they told me that half of the AI stuff is just them doing it manually under the guise of "integration and configuration".

I did have fun "talking" to Watson whenever I was bored at work, trying to make him swear
