That's part of the game, isn't it
You can get the whole thing on Youtube, it's pretty damn impressive. I think it buzzes faster the more sure it is that it got it right. Even with a delay I think it would still hold its own. Can't wait until there's a publicly available version *_*

this completely misses the point of the accomplishment of watson. yea, of course a machine will buzz in faster than a human opponent. the point is that a fucking machine actually knows the answer often enough that it can buzz in before everybody else and get the question right.
