Reading guide
The post explains that AIGC stands for AI-generated content: artificial intelligence can automatically generate news articles, interactive conversations, images, speech, music, code, legal documents, financial statements, and more. It ends by suggesting that when AI becomes proficient in playing instruments, board games, calligraphy, painting, poetry, prose, music, and office work—and can also drive itself—humanity must consider its own value at a more philosophical level. The source and originality remain unconfirmed. This is a conceptual explanation from December 2022.
