Ken Jennings with a funny and interesting Slate essay about facing Watson and his team of IBM programmers.

When I was selected as one of the two human players to be pitted against IBM's "Watson" supercomputer in a special man-vs.-machine Jeopardy! exhibition match, I felt honored, even heroic. I envisioned myself as the Great Carbon-Based Hope against a new generation of thinking machines?which, if Hollywood is to believed, will inevitably run amok, build unstoppable robot shells, and destroy us all. But at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Lab, an Eero Saarinen-designed fortress in the snowy wilds of New York's Westchester County, where the shows taped last month, I wasn't the hero at all. I was the villain.

Watson has lots in common with a top-ranked human Jeopardy! player: It's very smart, very fast, speaks in an uneven monotone, and has never known the touch of a woman.

Give me Google and "I'm Feeling Lucky" and I'd smoke that computer.

Give me a tall glass of water and I'd make that computer smoke.

Jennings lost the champions of champions tournament because he did not know that Condy Rice was one of two unmarried VPs. He lost to that Mark guy who has won the most money on Jeopardy.

When was Condy a VP? Didn't think I have been that drunk over the last 16 years to have missed that

Wishful thinking on my part. The question was about Secretary of State.

Don't sell yourself short, scooter. I bet you have, in fact, been that drunk.
