If AI is So Smart, Why Are So Many People Still Struggling?

We live in a world where AI writes poems, designs logos, and predicts stock trends.

Yet, the average person still:

  • struggles to write a decent email reply with AI,

  • feels overwhelmed by ChatGPT, Gemini, and other tools,

  • and deep down, fears being left behind.

Why?

Because we’re not just dealing with a lack of skills.
We’re dealing with myths—mental blockages that keep people passive, confused, or afraid.

It’s time to clear the fog. Below are 7 lesser-known myths and truths about AI that may surprise you—but more importantly, they’ll set you free.

MYTH 1: “AI is too technical for non-tech people.”

TRUTH: AI is just another language—and you already speak it.

You don’t need to code.
You don’t need to understand neural networks.

You just need to:

  • Ask better questions.

  • Give a clearer context.

  • Think with purpose.

If you can hold a conversation, you can master AI.


MYTH 2: “AI replaces human intelligence.”

TRUTH: AI amplifies human intelligence—but it collapses without it.

AI can process data. But it cannot feel emotion, detect subtle truth, or hold moral clarity.

AI is a mirror.
It reflects what you feed it.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Clarity in, magic out.

The smartest people in the AI era are those who know how to work with AI, not against it.

As the name says, AI is Artificial Intelligence.  Real Intelligence is Human Intelligence. AI use with Human Intelligence is Augmented Intelligence.


MYTH 3: “AI is dangerous because it might become conscious.”

TRUTH: The real danger is unconscious humans using AI.

The problem isn’t that AI will suddenly develop a soul.
The problem is that humans are using AI without reflection, blindly automating decisions without empathy or ethics.

Tools don’t cause chaos.
Unaware users do.


MYTH 4: “If I use AI, my creativity will drop.”

TRUTH: AI gives you more room to be creative.

Creativity isn’t about doing everything yourself. It’s about combining ideas in new ways.

AI helps:

  • Generate raw ideas in seconds.

  • Break your thinking rut.

  • Give form to the fog.

Your mind is the spark.
AI is the flame accelerant.


MYTH 5: “AI is only useful for business or coding.”

TRUTH: AI is a daily-life superpower.

Here’s what real people are using AI for:

  • Planning meals based on their diet.

  • Helping their kids write better compositions.

  • Getting reminders written in a loving tone for elderly parents.

  • Summarizing long WhatsApp chats in 10 seconds.

AI is no longer a lab tool.
It’s a life tool.
If you have a phone, you already hold AI in your hand.
Now you just need to use it wisely.


MYTH 6: “I’m too late. AI has already passed me by.”

✅ TRUTH: This is the perfect time.

Why? Because:

  • Early adopters burned out with hype.

  • The market is now flooded with user-friendly, free tools.

  • Employers, families, and friends are finally open to learning AI together.

If you start now, you’re not behind—you’re strategically timed.


MYTH 7: “I must master AI alone.”

TRUTH: You grow faster when you learn together—with guidance.

You don’t need to struggle alone on YouTube or jump from tool to tool.

That’s exactly why I created the course:

This isn’t about theory.
It’s not another boring tech class.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
