Watching Watson compete against Ken Jennings on Jeopardy showed what a next-gen knowledge repository should be. Imagine Watson on the Stack Exchange sites providing answers even quicker than the community currently does. Plus Jon would finally have some competition.

I have no doubt in my mind that the information I require when I ask a question on a Stack Exchange site is already out there on the Internet somewhere, but for whatever reason I have been unable to find said information, thus I post a question. From what I saw on Jeopardy it seems Watson can make more intelligible decisions than your standard search engine.– ubiquibaconCommented Aug 20, 2013 at 17:59

The problem with Watson and answering Jeopardy questions is that the answers on Jeopardy tend to be really short simple answers, whereas the best questions on Stack Exchange tend to have lengthy answers. (And yes, I do know that Jeopardy uses answers to get a question, but...) Getting a coherent document assembled is rather difficult to do completely by a machine today. The best I can see is a script to automatically quote Wikipedia, which wouldn't be the best thing, or a search engine, which also has it's challenges.
However, I don't doubt that some day we will be able to have do such a thing, but humans are required for some of the work here on Stack Exchange, for the foreseeable future.
