5 AI Myths, Debunked
What AI really means for creatives, planners, and founders
AI has been called everything from a revolutionary force to a total scam. With the rapidly evolving tech landscape, it’s easy to feel like AI is intimidating or out of reach, especially if you’re not a coder or engineer.
But in reality, AI isn’t just for people who know how to code or have been up-to-date on the latest tech news. It's becoming a powerful tool for people like you: creatives, freelancers, and everyday visionaries who simply want to get stuff done.
Let’s bust some common AI myths.
1. “AI is only for tech bros.”
Nope. Not even close.
These days, AI is used by artists to brainstorm their designs, by students to organize their notes, and by freelancers to optimize their workflows. It’s no longer just a tool for developers; it’s a productivity boost for anyone with a goal and a Wi-Fi connection.
Building your personal brand? Studying for your final exams? Writing a business plan?
AI can help with all of that, and you don’t need a Computer Science degree to start.
2. “AI will replace me.”
This one’s everywhere. But here’s the deal: AI isn’t coming for your job. It’s coming with you to your job.
You’re still the director, but now you’re overseeing your own personal backstage crew. AI does the repetitive tasks for you, so you get to focus on what really matters.
With human-in-the-loop tools such as Leep, you’re the one making the final decisions. AI agents propose the plan and ask for clarification, and you approve and clarify.
3. “You need to know how to code.”
False. You don’t need to know how to write code; you just need to know how to write good prompts.
Modern AI tools like Leep are designed to bring your ideas to life without ever having to write a line of code. You tell the AI your goal, and it breaks it down into bite-sized tasks for you.

4. “Using AI is cheating.”
Let’s talk about this one.
The idea that AI is cheating usually stems from a place of fear. But the truth is, using tools to work smarter isn’t new. Would you call using a calendar “cheating”? No; you’re simply being organized.
With AI, you’re not outsourcing your creativity; you’re just giving yourself a productivity boost to execute your ideas faster. You still bring the ideas and the decision-making.
5. “AI isn’t accurate.”
This may be true sometimes, but mostly, it depends on how you use it.
When you toss a vague prompt into a chatbot and get back a wall of generic text, that’s not a tool problem, that’s a clarity problem.
However, with user-friendly interfaces and curated tools, AI can be powerful and reliable. At Leep, we use specialized agents for specific workflows (like project planning, growth strategy, and content design), so the AI is tailored for task execution, not just text output.
Good prompts + structured tools = way better results.
Still unsure? Try it yourself.
We built Leep because we were tired of staring at blank Google Doc brainstorms and brick walls of AI-generated text. We wanted something that actually felt useful: structured, fast, and kind of satisfying to use.
If you’re curious, we’re opening up our Playtesting Program: a space where you can test Leep early, give feedback, and help us shape the future of productivity.
