Let's trace things back to their essence: when a user downloads a shopping app, their original intention is not to "use the software" but to "buy things." When we open a search engine, it's not to admire the web interface, but to "get answers."

For a long time, due to technological limitations, we had no choice but to endure complex intermediate ecosystems—software, websites, apps—to indirectly fulfill our ultimate goals.

But in the near future, this underlying logic will be fundamentally restructured. We could fulfill our needs directly through AI, bypassing all intermediate steps entirely.
