I worked for IBM (non-Watson) not too many years ago and this cracks me up because I heard the same from Watson employees I spoke with. And it wasn't just Watson that Ginni talked fluff about. I swear every word that came out of her mouth was a combination of fluff and technical buzz words. We all used to sit around a workstation when she would give her monthly talks and ask one another what she was talking about, because none of us had a clue. IBM seems to encourage that fluffy, buzz word exec talk, and to be honest if I hear someone talk like this now my mind turns off. One of my favorite past-times is talking with loyal IBM employees and seeing if they can tell me what Watson is, does, or how to use it. Ginni is laughing all the way to the bank at this point so I guess the joke's on us.
