IBM launches AI that can debate with humans

Have you always wanted to argue with a computer over who was better, Messi or Ronaldo? Of course not, but now you can do it anyway, thanks to IBM and its latest invention! The media are buzzing over IBM's Project Debater, essentially a talking pillar that will most likely beat you in a debate on whether it's easier to carry three watermelons or a hundred oranges. The pillar is 1.5 metres tall and has a computer inside it, that's powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The AI is designed to debate with humans on different topics, and it does so by pulling data from a huge database of journalistic articles and similar documents.
