Default New York Times wades into Watson

Apparently, it is not Applish enough

The New York Times, which long ago sacrificed its technology journalistic credibility to hawk Apple products, has waded into the IBM supercomputer Watson.

The Times gets its knickers in a twist about what happened in the ten years after the supercomputer scared the world by winning a TV game show.

It moaned that Watson has not remade any industries, hasn't lifted IBM's fortunes and trails behind rivals in cloud computing and AI — Amazon, Microsoft and Google.

The Times said that the company's missteps with Watson began with its early emphasis on big and difficult initiatives intended to generate both acclaim and sizable revenue for the company.

The company's top management, current and former IBM insiders said that the company was dominated by executives with backgrounds in services and sales rather than technology product experts. Product people, they say, might have better understood that Watson had been custom-built for a quiz show, a powerful but limited technology.

“Instead of being a shorthand for technological prowess, Watson stands out as a sobering example of the pitfalls of technological hype and hubris around A.I. The march of artificial intelligence through the mainstream economy, it turns out, will be more step-by-step evolution than cataclysmic revolution”, the Times thundered.
