In a time when ChatGPT and other AI tools are reshaping how people write, apply for jobs, pitch for funding, or even craft love letters, Thyrocare founder Dr A Velumani has a blunt—and thought-provoking—take. In a post that’s now sparking debate online, the veteran entrepreneur questioned the originality behind the flood of AI-generated communication and offered a sharp distinction between those who use AI wisely and those who blindly follow its cues.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Dr Velumani said that nearly everything he’s read over the past six months—ranging from job applications and resignation emails to mentorship and fund-seeking requests—falls into just two buckets: 90% of it, he claimed, is drafted using AI-aided templates, while only 10% feels “original and live.”
According to him, this growing dependency reveals more than just laziness—it signals a widening gap between true thinkers and passive users. “It makes 90% Dumb, Dumber, followers. It also makes 10% Wise, Wiser. Leaders,” he wrote, offering a stinging critique of AI dependency. For him, AI is less about the tool and more about the mindset behind its usage.
Dr Velumani’s commentary goes deeper than just numbers. He calls AI a mirror—one that exposes who relies entirely on it and who chooses to think independently. “What is easy to do is not right to do. What is right to do is not easy to do,” he stated. His message was clear: “Use your own wisdom—unless it is absent.”
Ending his post with a mantra that feels part warning and part wisdom, Velumani advised the younger generation to “Focus. Learn. Grow. Enjoy.” In an age where AI can write for you in seconds, his message stands out as a call for conscious thinking and original expression.

In last 6 months whatever I have read as
1. Job applications.
2. Resignations.
3. Fund seeking
4. Mentorship seeking.
5. Seeking for opinions.
(I believe love letters also).
All fall under two categories.
1. AI aided templates drafts 90%.
2. Written…
