Narrow AI (a.k.a Weak A.I.)

This is the A.I. we use every day. It’s trained to do one specific thing, and it does it really well.

💡 Example :

ChatGPT → writes text, answers questions
Spotify → recommends music
Google Maps → finds best routes
MidJourney → generates images from text
Gmail → auto-suggests replies

It's smart, but only in one area. It can’t switch tasks or “think” outside its domain.
