Works by Some Participants

From the "City of Monsters" to the "City of Magic," and from the "Imperial City" to the "Land of Abundance," our journey of exploration in AIGC has been ongoing, much like Wukong's journey to the West for the scriptures. As individuals facing the tide of AI, the workshop participants used the AIGC skills they learned over the two days to transform the location of the Black Wukong into a "night scene," illuminating Black Wukong's path of upgrading and battling monsters with AI.
