Why AI Code Needs a Guardian: Lessons from the ARC-AGI-2 Benchmark
The gap between human and AI reasoning is real—and it's showing up in your codebase. Learn how the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark reveals fundamental AI limitations and why CodeSlick acts as a guardian for AI-generated code.

The ARC-AGI-2 Reality Check
The ARC-AGI-2 leaderboard remains one of the most honest benchmarks for progress toward AGI. As of early 2026, top frontier models (GPT-5.2 Pro, Poetiq, Gemini variants) are scoring around 54% on these novel visual reasoning puzzles—tasks that require genuine abstraction, quick adaptation, and efficient problem-solving on problems never seen before.
Humans? Still near 100% at low cost (~$17/task equivalent).
This gap is a stark reminder: Today's AI crushes pattern-matching and data-rich tasks, but it still lacks the flexible, low-cost reasoning humans use on entirely new challenges. Scaling LLMs alone isn't closing it fast enough.
The Same Problem Exists in Code Generation
AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, GPT-4) write code fast—but they frequently:
.append() on strings or flawed logic patternsThese aren't just annoyances—they're production risks. From runtime crashes exposing stack traces to critical security breaches, AI-generated code needs verification before it ships.
Introducing CodeSlick: The Security Guardian for AI-Generated Code
CodeSlick is the first security platform built specifically to protect against threats in AI-generated code. It combines industry-first AI detection with comprehensive security scanning to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
