I think the warts in the natural language interface and limitations in data-sets made it difficult to see initially, but I really feel like there is something very exciting about Wolfram Alpha.
Wolfram Alpha is doing something that feels almost like thinking. I give it input and it parses it, determines what I want, combines data in a novel way, and feeds me output. When it gets my query right and has data, it feels like I'm seeing a capability that was human-only previously now falling into the realm of AI.
Edit: Also, it is improving. At launch, I couldn't get it to understand 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of cheese (choked on the cheese) and now it does.
