In the game...
Watson at play.
At a recent hackathon, one creative Pokémon Go trainer figured out he could use IBM's Watson to find the rare characters in Pokémon Go, reports ibmblrtumblr.com.
The hackathon winner set his phone to continuously send map screenshots back to the Watson Visual Recognition API where Watson looks for Pokémon by reading the image and then matching it against gameplay data to alert you when you’re close, the website wrote.
The more people play, the more Watson learns to spot ‘em. Still no word on where Ditto is, though.
