Watson doesn't have much unique computer vision capabilities unfortunately. They did some good work in NLP a decade ago but not added much since

Have they not really added much to it since the Jeopardy stunt? We get some periodic rumblings about integrating it with a customer-service tool, but it is starting to sound a little Duke Nukem Forever
They have it doing medical analysis (I'm hesitant to say "diagnosis" but I think it's being used to find symptom patterns doctors might otherwise miss).

Watson for Oncology analyzes a patient’s medical
information against a vast array of data, including
ongoing expert training from MSK physicians, cancer
case histories, and more, to provide evidence-based
treatment options.Does Chef Watson count? It's actually pretty neat as a consumer tool, it suggests the weirdest things but somehow they taste fine. No idea about the inner workings though
These are "invented" by the computer right? I just had a suggestion for
shrimp, peanut, olive oil, ginger, garlic, grapefruit juice, blood orange, dill, coriander seed, turmeric
That's a really odd mix but it honestly seems ok ... although I'd sub the shrimp for salmon ... apparently I can in the interface. Nice.
Also the ingredient input seems to lack exotic things like frogs, rattlesnakes, camels, durian, or ostrich. But quinoa and quail eggs are there.
AlchemyVision[1] from IBM Watson's Developer Cloud/BlueMix[2] is part of the Watson stack, and is pretty good. One of the few public APIs that lets you train your own categories.
