TAI is very smooth. TAI gives the sort of predictable monotonic clock you might appreciate if you care about milliseconds. One second after another, with a perfect 1000 milliseconds between them, forever.
UT is based on a large rock (the planet Earth) spinning. It varies a bunch 'cos the rock is a weird shape and is seismically active so it spins differently over time. If you care about "millisecond accuracy" then you do not want to base that on the spinning of a big rock when you can get a perfectly nice atomic clock and use TAI.
If your thought is "But I need millisecond accuracy for my astronomical observations" what you've got there is a big misunderstanding of your context. While UT might seem convenient for figuring out where and when to point telescopes at thing, it's useless for actual time. You need TAI.
