They compare modern AI investments to the "medical expert systems" of the early 1980s, specifically mentioning the "Rex" system.

The segment transitions into a critique of AI in healthcare, comparing modern "predictive health" claims to the failed "expert systems" of the 1980s. The hosts argue that these systems are often just opaque decision trees prone to data bias.

The hosts argue that human perception and the brain evolve to handle new stimuli, such as cinematic jump cuts, faster than AI can truly innovate. They maintain that AI remains a probability calculation rather than a thinking entity.

The hosts recall their previous prediction that Watson's appearance on Jeopardy! was a marketing ploy for this medical system. The segment also critiques the perceived failure of AI technologies like Siri and the historical collapse of the AI boom. Keywords: [ibm watson](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/ibm-watson.md), [jeopardy](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/jeopardy.md), medical expert system, natural language processing, [siri](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/siri.md), [stanford](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/stanford.md) ### IBM Watson, Cleverbot AI Trust Issues - **Episode:** [339: Cocked Pistol](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/339-cocked-pistol.md) - **Published:** 2011-09-15 - **Time:** 48:38–54:50 - **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/339-cocked-pistol/chapter/ibm-watson-cleverbot-ai-trust-issues.md IBM's Watson computer, famous for winning Jeopardy, has been contracted by health insurer Wellpoint to assist doctors with diagnoses. The hosts compare this to "Cleverbot" and express concern that the public is being conditioned to trust AI systems for medical and environmental policy decisions.
