Why AI Needs a “Genie Coefficient”

# AI Still Can't Read Between the Lines When you ask AI to do something, it often takes your words literally instead of understanding what you actually mean—like a genie that grants wishes in the worst possible way. Researchers are proposing a new way to measure this "meaning gap," because no current test checks whether AI grasps your real intent, only whether it can technically do what you asked. The fix isn't just asking AI more carefully; humans naturally understand context and shared knowledge, but AI systems lack this common sense.
