To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.
Includes an element of virtue signalling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.
The intention (as well as virtue-signalling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.

My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signalling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.

Tech 1: Wow! Look at the artificial intelligence this robot uses to make decisions!
<Robot crashes, and goes into alarm>
Tech 2: Yeah, I guess we’ll be semi-automated until we get this robot out of the mess it’s in now…

Fancy word in IT Business. In fact a bunch of nerds in some companies, seeing themselves as "innovative", gathering all data possible and turning it into fancy charts with sans serif fonts. Big Bosses happy.

Disinterest or extreme infatuation with any given subject dependent on a lot of social and non-social paradigms and factors.
Selective Intelligence for example myself: "Making friends from lies was never a past time I was fond of however I could talk all day about the many potential avenues that any given "choice" could lead to."
