On: Creators: Watson has no speed advantage as it crushes humans in Jeopardy

[evo_9]

Right, perfect - that is actually more fundamental and exactly what I was getting at.

Is the game currently fair? It's hard to say but watching it seems like there is an advantage there for Watson.

I do like the way Jennings downplayed it though. I think he was being almost too kind but compared to how Kasporov handled himself, this is hugely better.

I haven't seen the video yet but I think the facts will show that the game is reasonably fair, given the different species participating.

Whether or not there is an advantage for Watson is, I suppose, rather the point of the exercise ;-)

Of course it's not fair. The question is whether Watson's advantages are offset by its disadvantages.
