As a generative AI creator, he has also continuously participated in the monthly contests organized by AICU and has blossomed as a creator. The AICU Monthly Contest aims not only to compete for the superiority of works, but also to provide a place for creators to learn from each other, learn new methods of expression, and step up to challenge larger stages outside. After years of challenges and explorations, he was able to win the cover of "Monthly Aiq Magazine Vol.13 Generative AI and the World."
