> > The metaverse, as an emerging digital space, is increasingly becoming a
> crucial platform for user creation and interaction. This paper explores the
> synergistic effects of user-generated content (UGC) and artificial
> intelligence-generated content (AIGC) in metaverse gaming from a user
> perspective, shedding light on users’ needs and expectations in the content
> creation process. The study reveals that users desire to generate a variety
> of content in the metaverse, including virtual items, buildings,
> environments, and characters. To address users' creative needs, this paper
> proposes four mechanisms: a multi-person collaborative creation mechanism,
> an intelligent interactive scenario creation mechanism, a UGAIC
> (User-Generated and AI-Generated Integrated Content) mechanism, and a
> benefit control mechanism. These mechanisms aim to enhance users’ creative
> experiences in the metaverse and promote the richness and diversity of its
> content. However, the development of the metaverse
> >  faces challenges such as technological bottlenecks, content copyright
> issues, and economic benefits.
> >
> > While the paper presents an interesting concept about the synergy
> between UGC and AIGC in metaverse gaming, it falls short in providing
> scientific findings and presenting results. The study lacks empirical data,
> a detailed methodology, and practical applications, which are essential for
> a robust scientific contribution. The paper remains largely theoretical,
> offering a broad overview of UGC and AIGC without demonstrating how these
> concepts are applied in real-world metaverse environments. There is no
> discussion of practical implementations and experiments by the authors.
> >
> > Additionally the authors are advised to thoroughly check the paper for
> things like missing references, exceeding the page limit.
