Initial Watson was sort of a mess. But a lot of the Watson-related tech is integrated into a lot of products these days.

Baked into a lot a Red Hat products including Ansible and RHEL. Not that directly involved any longer. Probably read up on watsonx.ai.

Such as? I'm curious because I know a bunch of people who did a lot of Watson-related work and it was all a dead end, but that was 2020-ish timeframe.

IBM did a lot of pretty fragmented and often PR-adjacent work. And getting into some industry-specific (e.g. healthcare) things that didn't really work out. But my understanding is that it's better standardized and embedded in products these days.

  Not to be rude, but that didn't answer my question.
  Taking a look at IBM's Watson page, https://www.ibm.com/watson, it appears to me that they basically started over with "watsonx" in 2023 (after ChatGPT was released) and what's there now is basically just a hat tip to their previous branding.
