Take the ChatGPT technology fast train and install the "strongest AI brain" on virtual digital humans

The explosion of ChatGPT and GPT-4 AI technologies has brought new technological changes, which may equip virtual digital humans with the "strongest AI brain" and further push the virtual digital human industry to a new wave.

Virtual digital humans are equipped with the "strongest AI brain"

Virtual digital humans are intelligent products generated through technologies such as 3D modeling, deep learning, speech synthesis, and image rendering, which can simulate the image and behavioral characteristics of humans. The generation of a virtual digital human requires multiple supports of computer animation, motion capture, AI and other technologies as well as efficient computational algorithms. The emergence of ChatGPT brings a new turning point for the development of AI driven virtual digital humans.

The second issue of the "China Virtual Digital Human Impact Index Report" proposes that generative AI represented by ChatGPT will empower the "intelligent evolution" of virtual digital humans. At the same time, through the combination of AIGC technology with vertical scenes, it will also expand the application fields, reduce costs, and improve liquidity for virtual digital humans. According to IDC data, it is expected that the size of China's AI digital human market will reach 10.24 billion yuan by 2026, and the market will show a high-speed growth trend.

Expected to become the best incarnation of ChatGPT applications

The big model of natural language processing helps to improve the interactive experience of virtual digital human, and truly gives virtual digital human a soul. The high flexibility demonstrated by ChatGPT has given people a new understanding of AI. It is more like a natural person than ordinary AI robots, with more thorough exploration and organization of information and knowledge, and processing of sentences more closely related to human daily communication and expression.

Several industry insiders have stated that connecting to ChatGPT can help virtual digital humans better understand and respond to human interaction language, thereby greatly improving the human-machine dialogue experience. According to Cailian News Agency statistics, as of now, multiple listed companies including Yuanlong Yatu, Fengyuzhu, Tianyu Digital Science and Technology have announced that their related businesses have been integrated with ChatGPT technology, or are researching application scenarios that combine related technologies with virtual digital humans.

Meanwhile, in the past, digital humans had the "shackles" of high production costs, high shooting technology barriers, and long production times. However, "ChatGPT+digital humans" can effectively break these three "shackles". In the past, modelers may need several months to complete surreal digital humanoids, but now they can complete them in just a week.

The embedding of ChatGPT is like installing an AI brain on a "anthropomorphic" virtual digital human. Not only can it achieve more accurate, smooth, and natural expression, but it can also provide users with more personalized services through rapid learning and adaptation. Through targeted training of relevant data, personalized models are formed, and in the future, virtual humans are expected to be applied in multiple scenarios such as AI explanations and introductions in offline exhibition halls, digital humans, online AI anchors, and AIGC fast short video systems.

The combination of virtual digital humans and generative AI may be a key node in the development of the entire industry, and the two are interacting with each other. Shen Hao, chief scientist of the Big Data Center of the State Key Laboratory of Media Integration and Communication of Communication University of China, believes that the introduction of generative AI will endow virtual digital people with "the strongest brain". Industry experts have also expressed that virtual digital humans are expected to become the best embodiment and interface for ChatGPT applications.

GPT-4 Explore AI Virtual Digital Human

In addition, OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, recently launched GPT-4, which will allow users who access APIs to customize the "personality" of AI, bringing relevant technologies into virtual human scenarios, making virtual humans truly "humans".

Compared to ChatGPT's fixed language style, GPT-4 will allow users accessing APIs to customize the "personality" of AI. According to relevant predictions, GPT-4 will further optimize the feedback mechanism of virtual humans, similar to the domestic AI dialogue application Glow, which can allow users to have conversations with virtual humans from different backgrounds and scenarios such as "Iron Man" Tony Stark, bringing relevant technologies into virtual human scenarios, making virtual humans truly "humans".

In addition, with the improvement of computing power and the upgrading of the GPT-4 model, virtual digital humans will output text, images, audio and video, and even subtle emotional expressions, which will enable virtual digital humans to integrate social, creative, and sharing abilities. Therefore, after the launch of GPT-4, the virtual digital human is expected to further benefit and become a multi-modal Killer application.

Install the 'strongest AI brain'

Not only ChatGPT, but other AI models or AIGC technologies will continue to empower the virtual digital human industry. For example, Li Shiyan, the head of Baidu's digital human and robot business, stated that currently, with the support of large models and other technologies, digital humans can automatically generate a personalized graphic content, action videos, and even "acting" based on text requirements. For example, in a live streaming e-commerce scenario, when you tell a digital person the main features, prices, and product advantages of the product, and ask them to design three live streaming speeches in a hilarious comedy style, the digital person platform will directly provide several different styles of speeches.

For example, Shunwang Technology announced that its digital person "Xiaojing" has applied AIGC to the esports hotel industry, helping hotel owners achieve intelligent management. This technology runs through the entire process from the birth of digital person "Xiaojing" to scene application.

By connecting to the 'strongest AI brain', the emotional experience of virtual digital humans may become more diverse. Shenyang, a professor of the School of Journalism of Tsinghua University, believes that the use cost of the digital human solution will gradually reduce, and the function orientation will further expand to the C-end. Not only will there be virtual idols for fans, but also personalized virtual digital people will be further extended. There will be a blue ocean in the fields of child care, aging technology, single economy, and even every user can have their own virtual avatar, Undertake certain functional roles or play emotional companionship roles. The development of virtual digital humans in the future will no longer rely solely on technology, but will bring users unprecedented emotional experiences.
