AIGC: AI-generated content In Chinese, this means content generated by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can automatically generate news articles, interactive conversations, graphics and images, speech and sounds, melodies and music, code, legal documents, financial statements, and more. When AI becomes proficient in playing instruments, board games, calligraphy, painting, poetry, prose, music, and office work—and can also drive itself—humanity will have to consider its own value at a more philosophical level.
