Understanding AIGC: The Future of AI-Generated Content

Many terms related to AI have appeared online, let’s first understand the relationships between these terms.

AIGC (AI-Generated Content) refers tothe use of artificial intelligence to produce content, where AI is an abbreviation for artificial intelligence, and GC stands for generated content. Currently, AIGC is mainly applied intext, images, videos, audio, games, etc..

ChatGPT is a language generation model built on natural language processing technology. It can automatically generate new text content with just a segment of existing text input. In contrast,MidJourney (one of the AI painting tools)is a data processing and analysis tool designed based on graphic computing and machine learning technology, which can automate business processes by processing data.

Although ChatGPT and MidJourney differ from AIGC technology, they are both specific applications built on AIGC technology, meaning AIGC technology is a broader concept, while ChatGPT and MidJourney are specific applications of this concept. If we compare AIGC technology to a librarian, then ChatGPT and MidJourney are the librarian’s assistants. The librarian needs to handle a large amount of text and data while managing books, and tools like ChatGPT and MidJourney can process and manage text and data more intelligently. They can provide more accurate information and speed up data analysis, showing advantages over traditional methods.

AIGC is a technology that utilizes foundational AI technologies and capabilities such as natural language processing and computer vision, enabling it to understand commands input by external users.

In terms of content forms, AIGC automatically generates content in the form of text, audio, images, videos, code, multimodal, etc.

In terms of application scenarios, companies like Microsoft, Google, and Baidu are currently applying AI technology in the search field, where using conversational AI can significantly enhance the search experience. For the future, it is widely believed that the search field will become one of the fastest application scenarios for AI technology. In addition, AIGC technology has been widely applied in vertical industries such as office software, education, healthcare, urban development, and the metaverse.
