No it's not. Because Watson and its program have been developed by humans. I meant Google, as a machine, without any humans writing a program and telling it how to learn to play chess.
More in general, consider the GUAPs: OO-A&D, image recognition, the semantic web, clumsy robots, etc. People are good at that because brains learn and eliminate excess entropy. Computers are not, not even with brute force.
