I am currently working on a doctorate in ML. I highly disagree with your perspective on Watson. Watson's hardware was not revolutionary; it's software was. Most super computers have far better specs than Watson. Watson's deepqa algorithms are currently the best in the world. These algorithms can be applied to many industries (like medical diagnosis). IBM has been around for a long time, and it is doing fine financially. IBM offers business products; if you have a data center, you're most likely own IBM servers. IBM also offers awesome software solutions for businesses. I am extremely pleased IBM used Watson for PR promotions; it showed the general public the current capabilities of AI.
