Ai is the e-bike for the mind.

Steve Jobs once famously said that a computer is a bicycle for the mind—a tool that amplifies human capability, making us faster, more efficient, and more powerful thinkers. If that’s true, then AI? AI is the e-bike for the mind.

Think about it. A bicycle is great. It gets you places faster than walking, but it still requires effort. You still have to pedal. You still have to work. A computer, like a bicycle, gave us leverage—but it didn’t do the thinking for us.

Now, enter AI. AI is the e-bike. It assists you. It reduces the friction, lowers the effort, and helps you cover more ground with less strain. You’re still pedaling—you’re still in control—but suddenly, hills feel flatter, distances feel shorter, and you can keep going longer without burning out.

It doesn’t replace the rider. It doesn’t take away the journey. It just makes the ride easier.

And like e-bikes, AI is going to spark some debates. Some people will say it’s cheating. Others will embrace it as a tool to go further, do more, and arrive at their destination a little quicker, a little fresher. But at the end of the day, it’s still your ride. You still decide where you’re going—you just don’t have to kill yourself getting there. Pedal smarter, not harder.
