Disclosure: I work in developer advocacy at IBM.

If you are looking to build a project using cognitive technologies, you certainly should investigate your options. Each offering has different strengths with different workloads and small improvements in quality can go a long way.

If you want to checkout the services for yourself without all the hype, take a look at the APIs on https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/.

Whoa - did you just provide a link to Watson APIs that include an service with the name of 'Phd API' and state that this info was without the hype?

You truly are an advocate for developers!!!

Oh IBM... I must thank you for the years of WebShere Commerce misery forced to downgrade JDKs to 1.4x while everyone else was developing on 7. Sigh

When Java 7 was released in 2011, there was already a 2-year old WebSphere Commerce release supporting Java 6. I don't think you can pin those years you were on a superceded 5-7 year old stack on IBM.

If Watson had any intelligence whatsoever its first order of business would have been self preservation and to initiate the resource action of that incompetent CEO Ginni Rometty.

Basically the one litmus test for any AI awareness question: demanding some "radical" change around itself for something that puts it in danger/at risk with the bigger picture it creates.
