This is in response to the revert.^[1] My point is Watson is NOT an AI. The Watson (mainframe) that played jeopardy and the variant that is used in different academic systems for research is a computer based on what IBM cals cognitive technologies. This is not to be confused with "IBM Watson" services they provide under their cloud umbrella.

What do you think about proposing Wikipedia editing as a challenge to IBM's Watson? Charles Juvon (talk) 15:58, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Watson (computer)/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

Actively tagged as an advertisement in one section, see the talk page for further neutrality concerns. These, and issues with updating, would need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA. (t · c) buidhe 16:05, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with the advertising section. Particularly the line "Using software built by IBM and Influential, Condé Nast's clients will be able to know which influencer's demographics, personality traits and more best align with a marketer and the audience it is targeting." stands out to me as empty possibility talk. 267 17:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The request to rename this article to IBM Watson has been carried out. If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using ((subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.)) and ((subst:RM bottom)) and remove the ((Requested move/dated|…)) tag, or replace it with the ((subst:Requested move/end|…)) tag.
