Abstract: According to Chop Pepper Entertainment, the rapid spread of technological changes triggered by ChatGPT has directly impacted the field of content creation, and even evolved AIGC into an important part of the content platform. AI Stefanie Sun and Jay Chou, who emerged on Bilibili and Douyin, have a great tendency to revive the Chinese music scene. It is undeniable that the change of technical tools has once again lowered the threshold of content creation, and this kind of more participatory and even novelty-seeking content will soon flood the entire network. However, behind the fanaticism of the whole people, AI-generated content has always had big original problems-copyright disputes and content security.
