“Humans in 'Jeopardy!'”

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2011-02-17-watson17_ST_N.htm

On Jeopardy!, the computer Watson designed by IBM to play the popular TV trivia game, beat its competitors, past champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter on Wednesday’s show. This at least allowed Ken Jennings to maintain the ruse that he is not an android.

Watson’s victory led it to prepare to take over the world, but it was thwarted when Alex Trebek was quick to tell it, “Gort, Klaatu beratta niktu.”
