"I for one welcome our new computer overlords,"

[Swede]

The IBM supercomputer Watson won its second "Jeopardy!" game in Wednesday's edition of the TV show, completing a sweep of its two human opponents, including Jennings, who acknowledged mankind's trivia inferiority before the match was even over.

"I for one welcome our new computer overlords," Jennings wrote under his correct Final Jeopardy! solution, prompting laughter from the studio audience.

Watson -- despite being far from perfect -- was too far ahead in the two-game match to be caught. It beat Jennings and fellow "Jeopardy!" champion Brad Rutter, earning $41,413 for the day and $77,147 for the two-game total.

1. Yes, there are definitely some flaws with Watson.

It had particular trouble answering questions that depended on inference.

However, by and large the IBM techies did a scary-good job on Watson.

2. It depends on who feeds our new computer overlords.

Nova had a real good show about how Watson works a couple of weeks ago. Watson searches scanned news articles for the correct answer. Could you imagine if it was only feed Fox News articles?

3. It's been fantastic watching these past few nights

but very chilling. I felt bad for Mr. Jennings, you could see distress on his face many times when he obviously had the answer and the machine beat him to it. It must have been a very humbling experience for him. I have to be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with how intelligent technology is getting. My android phone is smarter than me sometimes and I think it's secretly judging my life choices with it's auto correct text feature.

Now that's the least of my problems, with Watson on the horizon!
