Everything IBM says about Watson should be taken with a few tons of salt.
I don't know how much I'm allowed to say, but they couldn't even get it to work acceptably internally for some of the basic datamining and natural language processing that are among the things so highly touted in some of their TV advertising. This is with a gargantuan dataset compiled from years of relevant interactions to train on in the particular area of interest.

Neural nets can do specific things well, such as mirror a specific training set well, but still have major gaps in terms of what many call "common sense". It does smell like AI Bubble 2.0 brewing out there.
