AI Rant
By Ankit Gajjar ·
Despite all the debates and the love–hate relationship humans have with AI, one of the biggest unfair advantages you can give yourself right now is this:
Dedicate real, focused time to using AI for your work.
Embrace the discomfort of using AI and you’ll learn three things very fast:
where it falls short
where it absolutely shines
where you should never use it
The truth is, whatever models you’re using today will be almost unrecognisable in a year.
I was building my first proper web app in 2024 with a local dev setup, Visual Studio open, GPT on the side like a slightly confused junior dev. Not long ago, OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude were just “extensions” inside your editor.
By the end of 2025, we’ve got Replit, Lovable, Bolt, Emergent, and now even Vercel releasing their own agent (v0) to spin up full web apps.
The tools are levelling up faster than most people’s willingness to sit down and actually use them.
My first experience using AI for code was not glamorous at all.
Losing context mid-way through a file
Slowing down just to understand what the AI wrote
Not knowing if the bug was from some weird package conflict or because I pasted code in the wrong place
API working perfectly one minute, then dying after one tiny change that “shouldn’t” have broken anything
At one point, I asked the model to rewrite a file with just five small changes… and it silently removed an important import. I spent hours debugging something that didn’t need to be broken.
That’s the kind of thing that makes you want to slam the laptop shut.
But here’s the catch:
Use models for the wrong use case, and you’ll walk away convinced AI is useless or “ruining everything.”
Focus on everything except the actual work, and suddenly AI becomes “evil” and the whole conversation shifts to what if it takes over humanity.
Come on… why are we humans like this?
“AI is ruining comment sections.”
Maybe. Or maybe the people whose comments you’d actually value are busy using AI to build things, fix problems, and ship work.
There is something off about a society that hates on one of the most powerful tools it has ever created.
Just in the last two years:
AI can write production-level code way better and faster than before.
AI agents on Lovable can build web apps at 50x less cost than hiring a full team from day one.
Anyone who says that’s not true simply hasn’t done enough reps with these models, no matter what degrees or job titles they have.
I’m not saying this from theory. I’m saying this after grinding through the painful part: using AI every day, breaking things, fixing them, and going again.
Most small business problems today are one GPT search away from a clear step-by-step.
“I need a follow-up sequence for my plumbing leads.”
Paste your context → get a draft → refine it → ship.
“I need a landing page structure for my local clinic.”
Ask → get sections, headlines, CTAs → tweak to your voice → ship.
Even for the stuff that isn’t fully solved yet, someone out there is currently building exactly what you need. So within a year, you won’t just have one solution—you’ll have options.
That’s the same mindset ThoughtForge was born from.
You don’t need another noisy, overcomplicated tool. You need:
one clean place to write long-form,
turn that thinking into short-form posts,
and push it out to LinkedIn, X, Threads, wherever…
without losing your voice and without getting distracted every 5 seconds.
ThoughtForge is literally:
“Write like this. Hit transform. Get post-ready content you can publish everywhere.”
No templates pretending to be you. No fake “guru voice.” Just your actual thoughts, structured and repurposed.
Depending on when you’re reading this, ThoughtForge will probably do this better than it did a month ago. That’s the point. The AI + the product keep improving. Your workflow gets smoother: better structure, faster repurposing, less staring at a blank screen.
But one thing that will not change:
I want to keep this app stupidly simple and distraction-free.
You don’t need a casino dashboard.
You need a blank page, a bit of structure, and a way to multiply what you already believe and say.
So here’s the real play:
Don’t sit out the next 10 years arguing about AI on social media.
Use it. Break things. Fix them.
Write. Ship. Repeat.
Start making content. With or without ThoughtForge.
Just don’t stay idle.
