Myth
You need a PhD to work in AI.
Reality
Many top AI engineers come from bootcamps and self-study. Shipping projects matters more than credentials.
Myth
ChatGPT understands everything you say.
Reality
LLMs predict text — they can hallucinate, miss context, and need verification for critical decisions.
Myth
AI is only for big tech companies.
Reality
SMBs, freelancers, and solo founders use AI daily for content, support, code, and automation.
Myth
Open-source models are always worse.
Reality
Open models like Llama and Mistral often match or beat closed APIs on specific tasks at a fraction of the cost.
