Actually TDK has made lots of changes into the Turkish language. If you were to investigate it from its kuruluş till today, you will see it is a powerful institute when it comes to language. Many of the words nowadays were invited by members from the TDK in order to purify the language from its arabic and persian influences in the 1930'. They went to villages and collected words from halk dili in order to change these 'öz türkçe' words for their Arabic and Persian equivalents (we need to keep in mind that Osmanlıca was a mixture of Turkish, Arabic and Persian, in which not only words were adapted from their neighbours, but also their grammar constructions, and the gap between the elite and the people on language was big).

TDK definitely has ruled, or at least directed, the Turkish language for a long time. But the commonpeople dont really bother about it anymore and they create their own terms, adapting from English and French. It no longer rules, but definitely has played an important role in history of Turkish Language.

I dont think there is anything wrong with gideceğim as the official way. Every language has a written and a spoken form and if we are to deliberetaly make our written language as our spoken language, lots of refining will go lost.
