AI Fundamentals Primer

Let's clear up some common misconceptions about AI that you might have heard!

❌ Myth: "AI will take over the world"#

✅ Reality: Current AI is very narrow and can only do specific tasks. We're nowhere near general AI that could "take over."

❌ Myth: "AI is always right"#

✅ Reality: AI makes mistakes! It can be biased, give wrong answers, or misunderstand context. Always verify important information.

❌ Myth: "You need to be a programmer to use AI"#

✅ Reality: Most AI tools are designed for regular people! You can use ChatGPT, Grammarly, or voice assistants without any coding.

❌ Myth: "AI will replace all jobs"#

✅ Reality: AI will change jobs, not eliminate them all. Many roles will evolve to work alongside AI, and new jobs will be created.
Bottom Line: AI is a powerful tool, but it's still just a tool. The key is learning how to use it effectively and understanding its limitations.
