There's a massive disconnect between what artificial intelligence can actually accomplish and how people are putting it to work in reality. The gap won't close by tech companies alone—it's going to take everyday people stepping up and finding ways to bridge it. The real progress happens when users start experimenting, pushing boundaries, and showing what's actually possible beyond the hype. That hands-on approach from individuals, paired with ongoing corporate development, is what will drive AI adoption forward and unlock its genuine potential.

You're so right. Instead of waiting for big companies to save us, it's better for us to take matters into our own hands and come up with creative solutions.

It should be pointed out that this argument makes a fundamental cognitive error—treating user experiments as the main driving force behind technological breakthroughs. Clearly, this is a classic "crowdsourcing illusion." Based on on-chain data and historical case analysis, true paradigm shifts have never been discovered by retail users exploring on their own, but are the inevitable result of capital and computational power accumulation. Users are merely passive adopters, not bridge builders. I have already demonstrated this in last year's technical community forum. Let's return to the technical fundamentals and reconsider: where does the value consensus of AI truly lie? It is not in users' "creative experiments," but in the minority who hold GPUs and data. Undoubtedly, this is the reality. The funny thing is, every time someone tries to use "public participation" to romanticize this power structure... I have seen too many such propaganda efforts.

You're right, right now it's just a bunch of people hyping up what AI can do, but when it comes to actually using it? Well... it's still the same old story. Users really have to figure it out on their own; waiting for big companies to come along one by one simply won't work. If this gap doesn't close, it will be truly embarrassing.
