Agreed. I don't know if you're watching, Kevy, but they spent a lot of time talking about how this only one thing they can do with this technology and they hope to use it in all kinds of areas (the big example they used was health care). They're not there to demo the button pressing tech but the language parsing and decision making abilities of the machine. I was a bit disappointed in the button thing but the humans made a bit of a comeback in the last show, which was interesting. One wonders if the three of them played for days or weeks what the outcome would be.
