Abstract. Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, represents a significant leap forward in the field of artificial intelligence, enabling the automatic generation of text, images, and more. It has not only reshaped our understanding of cognitive research in AI, but has also uniquely addressed critical issues in the field of cognitive science through its 'violent aesthetics.' Generative AI possesses a high level of intelligence in generating text and has broad application potential across various domains. From automated content creation to online customer support, translation services, and creative content generation, it enhances efficiency, saves time, and conserves resources, providing robust support for societal development. However, Generative AI is not without limitations. Concerns exist regarding the correctness, authenticity, and reliability of the generated content. Therefore, careful consideration is essential when applying it. We must assess the sensitivity of a particular domain to erroneous results to determine whether the use of Generative AI is safe. In the future, Generative AI will continue to evolve, with more powerful models, expanded application domains, and improved management. It will persistently drive advancements in artificial intelligence technology, positively impacting society. However, prudent management is crucial to harness its potential to the fullest while mitigating potential risks.
