I see Watson stuff at work. It’s not a direct to consumer product, like ChatGPT, but I see it being used in the enterprise, at least where I’m at. IBM gave up on consumer products a long time ago.
I’m not close enough to it to make any meaningful comments. I just see the name pop up fairly regularly. It is possible that some of it is WatsonX and everyone just says Watson for brevity.
One big ones used heavily is Watson AIOps. I think we started moving to it before the big LLM boom. My usage is very tangential, to the point where I don’t even know what the AI features are.
Just did some brief Wikipedia browsing and I'm assuming it's WatsonX and not Watson? It seems Watson has been pretty much discontinued and WatsonX is LLM based. If it is the old Watson, I'm curious what your impressions of it is. It was pretty cool and ahead of its time, but what it could actually do was way over promised and overhyped.
