This goes back to all those Watson spinoffs, which were WINO (Watson in name only). Why do the real thing when subterfuge pays just as well? Which makes me wonder why IBM wasn't at that clown's table after all...

IBM is years behind in AI now, outside of esoteric business models that were lapped by the big 3 a year ago (e.g., COBOL/Fortran coding). They might as well not be doing AI anymore. [16:32] schestowitz[TR2] This is why they're desperately trying to offramp to Quantum.

Cant even build a useful chatbot to help employees navigate the 724 different systems all our internal stuff is dispersed across. Speaking of which, we also do "big data" but we $u-k at that too. I blame Arvind and his merry band of f'ing a'holes.
