    Ashok Goel, a computer science professor, did not reveal Watson’s true identity to students until after they’d turned in their final exams.

    but…

    “A really fun thing in this class has been once students knew about Jill they were so motivated, so engaged. I’ve never seen this kind of motivation and engagement,” Goel said.

    A pity they found out so late in the course, then.

        I’m a bit bearish on it, because I see AI mainly being useful for perpetuating all the old evils.
