Well, IBM did name it after their founder, Thomas J. Watson, who was decorated by Hitler for services to the Third Reich, so maybe killing 50% of patients was a feature, not a bug?

Perhaps the most offensive thing to me of all, is that these LLM-loving AI-boosting idiots who perpetuate falsehoods like 'AI can read minds with fMRI' and 'AI can magically find vulnerabilities' and 'AI will cure cancer' is that we have known this is bullshit for years.
Years.
IBM Watson was launched as a magical cure-all in 2013. By 2022 it had been pulled from everything because despite years of 'refining' and 'training,' following it would have killed over 50% of patients. At it's best.
