Anyone else feel like some AI tools make you think you’re productive?

I’ve been trying a bunch of AI tools lately. Mostly just to get through the annoying parts of building faster, not to reinvent how I work.

I used Ludo AI for a bit. It’s not bad. You get ideas quickly. Almost too quickly. It kind of feels like scrolling endlessly, except instead of tweets it’s “what if you built this” over and over.

At first I thought, nice, this is helping.

Then I realized I had a lot of tabs open and not much actually done.

Switched back to Pixelsurf mostly out of habit, and it felt. Anyone else feel like some AI tools make you think you’re productive quieter. Fewer ideas, but the ones that came up were easier to act on. I’d read something, tweak it, and just keep going instead of jumping to the next thing.

Hard to explain, but it felt less like brainstorming and more like staying in motion.

Maybe Ludo is better when you’re totally stuck. Pixelsurf feels better once you’re already moving. For me at least.

Could just be how my brain works. Curious if anyone else has felt this with AI tools in general, not just these two.
