Debunking common AI myths with Galaxy AI

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly visible in everyday devices, but misconceptions about what it can or cannot do still persist. From concerns about AI replacing creativity to assumptions that it is difficult to use, these myths often create unnecessary hesitation around the technology.

Samsung’s Galaxy AI aims to address these concerns by integrating AI into familiar smartphone experiences, focusing on practical assistance rather than complexity or automation taking over user control. You can also check out the video above as we break down some of the most common AI myths and show how Galaxy AI works in real-world scenarios using the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra:

 

 

Myth 1: AI does everything for you

A common misconception is that AI replaces human decision-making entirely. While tools such as Gemini Live can answer almost any and every question, identify objects you show it, schedule plans and even make calls through its seamless actions across apps, they are designed to assist rather than act independently. Galaxy AI helps reduce friction in daily tasks, but users remain in control of intent and decisions.

 

Myth 2: AI replaces human creativity

Another concern is that AI removes the need for creative thinking. In practice, features like Sketch to Image rely heavily on user input, building on prompts, drawings and ideas provided by the user. Rather than replacing creativity, Galaxy AI enhances it by helping users visualise and refine their concepts more efficiently (especially those of us whose drawings aren’t the best).

 

Myth 3: AI is complicated to use

AI may sound complex, but many users are already using it without even realising it. Features such as Now Brief and the Now Bar quietly operate in the background, helping surface relevant information like the weather or your schedule and managing your daily tasks without adding any extra steps. The focus is on simplicity and usefulness, not technical complexity.

 

AI is here to help, not replace

Galaxy AI positions itself to assist rather than being an intimidating new technology. By integrating AI into everyday actions and familiar workflows, it lowers the barrier to entry and makes advanced features more approachable. As Galaxy AI continues to evolve, it offers a glimpse into how AI can quietly support daily life without overwhelming users.
