IBM pitched its Watson supercomputer as a revolution in cancer care. It’s nowhere close

From https://www.statnews.com/2017/09/05/watson-ibm-cancer/

That was 2017, a mere 7 years ago. How are we falling for this same con again so soon?

    Guess the year this was written:
    A recent interview with a former COMPANY employee who worked in the company’s life sciences group shows that the hype of artificial intelligence’s impact on healthcare was felt internally too.

    This former employee, who declined to speak on the record for fear of angering his powerful former employer, said that large marketing budgets have yielded a lot of advertising but no tangible off-the-shelf product.

    “The truth needs to come out. I am not trying to be too dramatic but I think it’s a lot of marketing,” the former employee said. “There’s a lot of money in marketing and there are a lot of ads on TV but I don’t actually see the products. Anytime anyone would want to see a product roadmap or wanted to see what the future is or when it was coming out, we never really got that timeline.”
