It's true. I just got the info this morning. Recently (i think) they made a computer named Watson and he was programed to answer almost every possible question. He was specifically used for Jeopardy games. There is I think this room close to him that controls what he does with lots of computers containing lots of terabytes. Watson also has a voice to answer questions and a screen of an avatar to show signs of his expressions.

Heres a video of Watson in Jeopardy and some other info I haven't added in

Yup WATSON. Named after the founder of IBM.
Watch a NOVA on it.
At least it isnt HAL 9000.
