Meta GPT 是元宇宙的未来吗？从内容奇点到人机元宇宙交互的 AIGC 时代 (What if we have Meta GPT? From Content Singularity to Human-Metaverse Interaction in AIGC Era)

The global metaverse development is facing a "cooldown moment", while the academia and industry attention moves drastically from the Metaverse to AI Generated Content (AIGC) in 2023. Nonetheless, the current discussion rarely considers the connection between AIGCs and the Metaverse. We can imagine the Metaverse, i.e., immersive cyberspace, is the black void of space, and AIGCs can simultaneously offer content and facilitate diverse user needs. As such, this article argues that AIGCs can be a vital technological enabler for the Metaverse. The article first provides a retrospect of the major pitfall of the metaverse applications in 2022. Second, we discuss from a user-centric perspective how the metaverse development will accelerate with AIGCs. Next, the article conjectures future scenarios concatenating the Metaverse and AIGCs. Accordingly, we advocate for an AI-Generated Metaverse (AIGM) framework for energizing the creation of metaverse content in the AIGC era.

翻译：全球元宇宙的发展正经历 "冷却时刻"，同时学术界和工业界的关注点也在 2023 年之间急剧转移，从元宇宙转向了基于人工智能生成内容 (AIGC)。然而，目前的讨论很少考虑 AIGC 和元宇宙之间的联系。我们可以想象，元宇宙即沉浸式的网络空间，就像黑暗宇宙一样，而 AIGC 可以同时提供内容和满足多样化的用户需求。因此，本文认为，对于元宇宙来说，AIGC 可以成为重要的技术推动力量。本文首先回顾了 2022 年元宇宙应用的主要缺陷。第二，我们从用户视角探讨了在 AIGC 时代下元宇宙发展将如何加速。接下来，本文设想了将来串联元宇宙和 AIGC 的场景。因此，我们提出了一个 AI 生成的元宇宙 (AIGM) 框架，为在 AIGC 时代推动元宇宙内容创作提供动力。
