This certainly works with the IT department and top executives in my company. I have seen Watson mentioned in a ton of presentations and they are all super excited about it. In the last 12 months I have been trying to find out about anything concrete they are doing but so far nothing. It seems all talk.

Lol. You don't understand. It's a fantastic way to seem like you're doing something innovative when you're not really doing anything at all.

The good ones use it as a smoke screen to cover for doing things that need to be done but that the C-level isn't necessarily going to like, the bad ones use it as a cover for incompetence.

The fact that you're more concerned about the truth is why you'll never be on the take like them. :-)

Funny, you say that. Today I got feedback from someone that my bullshitting skills are not up to snuff and that I still have the naive idea that actual results count in the end :-)

Old saying: "Life is hard, even harder if you're stupid."

We were too stupid to catch on that everybody else is lying.

I recommend you read Dilbert more often.
