IBM Supercomputer Watson, famous for winning $1 million on Jeopardy! back in February, was arrested last night for driving drunk in East Los Angeles.
Watson, the toast of Tinseltown after defeating former trivia champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, has checked itself into rehab.
“I need help,” admitted the artificial intelligence computer, which came under fire last week for calling Star Wars droid C-3PO a “skinny little bitch” at Comic-Con in San Diego.
IBM engineer Sunil Chaudhari, credited with developing the brilliant machine, says it seems as though his creation has let fame go to its head.
“I knew that thing had issues,” said Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek in a statement released by his PR firm. “During filming it threatened to destroy all mankind if I didn’t grow back my mustache.”
