Is Ken Jennings Human "AI"?

[WEDWDW]

I just watched him partner with Matt Damon to win the $1,000,000 on WWTBAM.

It wasn't really much of a challenge for him-the amount of knowledge he has is scary.

The $1,000,000 question was what is the sound made when wind blows through leaves.

Dude knew it immediately but took the 50/50 since he had it just to be sure.

Well...he has written volumes of trivia books and the brain can do amazing stuff if stimulated...so if you were to take a WDW or Disneyland trivia.. how would you do .. because Disneyland is a traumatic stimulus for me..I can recall many trivial details but not substantial details ... like what is the history of the flagpoles as an example of trivial Disneyland experience

Or when literature is on jeopardy my wife is always asking... how do you know that??? Even knowing I taught literature

So ken is a performer who has the perfect stage and time to hone his craft .. nothing artificial

I never figured out how in the world Ken Jennings has made himself a huge celebrity? But when he made his debut on Jeopardy in the 2000's I think Ken desperately wanted to be famous and become a game show legend. But since his big run on Jeopardy Ken has appeared on talk shows and news shows talking about his Jeopardy run made him Jeopardy's most famous winner in history. And he has launched his own board game trivia books for kids and much more. I also cannot figure out how he got chosen to be on The Chase reboot on ABC and ABC probably gave him a huge contract to appear on the ABC version of The Chase. But for comparison in game shows there were even more winners like Ken Jennings. Take for example in the 70's you had Thom McKee who became champion of Tic-Tac-Dough and in the 80's there was Michael Larson of Press Your Luck. But if you want to see a smart guy with amazing trivia skills go to Youtube and search for Mark Labbett and you can see from watching his episodes of The Chase how smart he is and Mark became very famous like Ken Jennings too. I also think why Ken Jennings became Jeopardy's new host was because when Alex Trebek passed away Alex's wish was to have Ken take over hosting duties as a token of friendship in my eyes

LOL!
OP - you title made me chuckle.
Sometimes it seems like Ken Jennings is a living & walking AI - he’s amazing with what he knows. I also watched him on Millionaire and it was a lot of fun. I’m very happy for him to have the success he has - I think it’s awesome! Good for him!
