My Dad got to play against Watson!
(and no, my Dad is not Ken Jennings)
WISE OF THE MACHINE In its first public demonstration, the computer system built by IBM defeated two “Jeopardy!” champions, including 74-consecutive-game-winner Ken Jennings, above, in a practice match ahead of a formal competition that will air on TV in mid-February. Afterwards, the computer, known as Watson, also took Ken Jennings’s lunch money. (Photo: AP via the Wall St. Journal; caption via the Journal. Except that last part.)
