AIGC and the Metaverse: Opening a New Era in the Virtual World

The rapid development of technology is ushering us into a new era of integration between the virtual and the real. The Metaverse, as a hallmark concept of this era, is becoming the focal point of attention across various sectors. The integration of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology will undoubtedly drive the Metaverse towards greater automation and real-time updates, providing users with a more authentic, diverse, and enriched virtual experience.

The Role of AIGC in the Metaverse

AIGC, as the tangible output of artificial intelligence, is an important bridge for interaction between AI and humans. It can transform the learning results of AI into various forms of content such as graphics, images, and text, allowing people to understand and utilize AI's capabilities more intuitively. AIGC can convert complex data analysis results into easily understandable visual charts, helping users discover hidden patterns and trends. At the same time, it can also convert AI's output into speech or text, achieving real-time dialogue and feedback with users.

In the Metaverse, this virtual environment, AI is like a continuously learning and growing child. Big data is like its nutritious food, and cloud computing ensures a sufficient supply of this "food." Blockchain technology guarantees the quality and credibility of these "foods." In such an ecosystem, the role of AIGC is to enable this "AI child" to communicate smoothly with us and showcase its learning achievements.

The Integration of Metaverse and AIGC Applications

The Metaverse, as a digital twin of the real world, derives its underlying logic from gaming technology. Combined with AIGC, it will provide users with a more immersive real-time interactive experience. Through AIGC, virtual items in the Metaverse can be updated in real-time based on the environment and user behavior, and virtual scenes can dynamically adjust with the changes in time and events.

This dynamism and real-time nature make the Metaverse closer to the real world, providing users with a more authentic and engaging experience. At the same time, users can create various virtual elements based on their personal preferences using AIGC, making the Metaverse even more rich, diverse, and personalized.

A popular mobile game has recently implemented the first AI system for gaming in China. This AI system enables high-intelligence interactions with NPCs, allowing them to extend the semantics of conversations with players and remember the dialogue content, making each encounter a unique experience. In the players' favorite "face-sculpting" section, the game allows users to generate facial models through text input, truly achieving personalization and high freedom.

Exploration of AIGC Learning Games

A popular sandbox game almost encompasses all elements of the Metaverse. Players can gather and place various blocks to create buildings, tools, weapons, and other items. Its online mode has further gained global recognition for the game, allowing players to explore, build, collaborate, and battle according to their preferences and creativity.

A research team once conducted a study called "VPT". They trained neural networks using a large amount of unlabeled game videos and incorporated a small amount of labeled data models, fine-tuning the machine's behavior to enable AI to autonomously learn and create advanced tools within the game.

In this game, it takes at least 24,000 operations from collecting basic materials to crafting advanced tools, and even skilled players need over 20 minutes. The research team used 70,000 hours of game video tutorials for AI training. After training was completed, the VPT model successfully learned to craft advanced tools with the shortest steps, taking even more time than many human players.

Looking to the Future

The combination of AIGC and the Metaverse will open up a brand new virtual world for us. In this world, we will experience more diverse virtual scenes, characters, and items, enjoying a higher level of automation and real-time updates.

This also provides businesses with a new platform that helps them expand brand culture and explore brand value. The future Metaverse will be a more real, diverse, and rich virtual world, and we have reason to look forward to this future full of infinite possibilities.
