AI Definitions: Jagged intelligence

Jagged intelligence – AI can outperform humans in narrow technical tasks, yet it fails when a problem requires judgement and context reasoning. To complicate the situation, it’s not always clear which is which. Also, the bot may provide a correct answer and then immediately provide an incorrect answer with the same prompt. A key takeaway is that while humans learn and gain competence in a linear, predictable fashion, AI's capabilities are more haphazard and unpredictable. It possesses a variety of skills but not general intelligence. Therefore, verification layers and human checkpoints are essential for deriving consistent, useful results from AI models.
