Last night during Monday Night Football, IBM began a new campaign for its powerful new Watson. Tonight during the Yankees/Astros playoff game (Yes, the Astros are an American League team now) Dylan made another appearance, and it looks like he's here to stay.
Watson: Bob Dylan. To improve my language skills I've read all your lyrics.
Bob Dylan: (smirking) You've read all of my lyrics.
Watson: I can read 800 million pages per second.
Dylan: (serious expression) That's fast.
Watson: My analysis shows that your themes are that times passes, and love fades,
Dylan: (suppressing a smile) That sounds about right.
Watson: I have never known love.
Dylan: Maybe we should write a song together.
Watson: I can sing.
Dylan: You can sing. (doubting expression)
Watson: (singing, rather flat) Do-be-bop, do-be-dooby-do..etc.
As Watson sings, Bob picks up his guitar and walks away.
Message at the close: IBM Watson thinks with us to outthink the limits of creativity.
Interesting idea. Dylan is presented as a symbol of "the limits of creativity." I really don't know how one would measure what those limits are, but every Dylan fan knows that Dylan certainly expanded the dimensions of creativity... in a major way.
Here's the commercial. I can't help but believe that whether you're a Dyla fan or no, this would be fun. Or maybe I've just had too much of the Kool-Ad.
