Five rumors about AI
— half true, half false

"It tells lies," "it takes all my data," "at my age, no way."
Things you heard before even trying trip you up.
We checked them one by one.

The basis for each verdict is at the bottom of each card — figures only for verified ones, the rest are usage suggestions

Five rumors1 / 5

01

"It tells plausible lies"

Verdict — true

It really does.
It recommends a restaurant that doesn't exist, makes up hours, and states it with calm confidence.

But "so don't use it" is a hasty conclusion.
For picking dinner it's no problem at all,
and for money, health, and schedules you just check the original.
This one distinction is half of knowing how to use it.

One-line habit "Tell me the source of that answer" — and I click the link myself.

02

"It learns everything I write"

Verdict — partly true

It depends on the service and settings.
Some use conversations for training; some let you turn that off in settings.

So it's easier to set your rule simpler than the settings.
Either way, don't enter passwords, ID numbers, or others' information.
For work, company policy comes first.

Something to check today Open the "data training" item in your chatbot's settings once — just knowing whether it's there is enough.

03

"You need to be good with computers"

Verdict — false

What you need isn't typing skill or jargon, but words.

A US nonprofit consultant who couldn't write a line of code
built a customer-management platform in six months by explaining to AI in words.

If you've ever explained a task to a new hire, you already have the skill you need.

Try it out Ask it just like this: "I'm not good with computers. Is that okay?" — the answer will give you a feel.

04

"It's too late to learn now"

Verdict — false

The data points the other way.

Entry-level roles with high AI exposure demand 7x more senior skills like leadership and judgment (analysis of job postings worldwide).
The judgment your years built sits on the side that's hard to automate.

It's a game where your 20 years become an asset.

05

"You have to pay for it first"

Verdict — that's a later concern

Free is enough to get a feel.
Every lecture and exercise in this series was built around one free chatbot.

The moment paying is better does come.
But that's a concern for "after you're using it every day."
Do it in reverse and you're left with a bill and no habit.

One rule of thumb "Did I wish for more three or more times a week?" — then it's not too late to look into paying.

The rumors are sorted,
now start with dinner

The true rumor (lies) is handled by a checking habit,
the half-true one (training) by a single principle.
It'd be a shame to be tripped up by the two false ones.
