Yes, it's almost perfectly dual: the things we do easily, without thinking, are hard for machines. Many things that we can only do with years of training, machines do effortlessly. I think technology like Watson has a bright future when applied in the right way, but I think it's counter-productive to wrap it in anthropomorphic marketing, and especially to give it these direct natural language interfaces. Because that makes people misunderstand what it is.
