The vigorous development of information technology and artificial intelligence technology has given rise to the concept of digital social rights [1] . Young people are keen to use various APPs and online platforms to learn foreign languages. There are also many games that create an all-English environment to assist foreign language learning. The launch of ChatGPT in 2023 will make it possible for humans and 24-hour online generative language robot training [2] .This study aims to explore the advantages of game -assisted English learning (Meet Aiden) equipped with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI : Generative Artificial Intelligence) over traditional English learning [3] . The Unity 3D platform was chosen for scenario construction and the Inworld platform was used as the artificial intelligence design tool to evaluate the feasibility of this system as an auxiliary English learning tool. Through a questionnaire survey in the early stage of the project, it was found that students’ attitudes toward English learning status, environment, and independent learning will lead to differences in attitudes toward GAI-assisted foreign language learning. In this empirical study, two students (anonymous as A and B) with roughly the same basic vocabulary interacted with the GAI system in a closed environment, and the learning effect was evaluated through regression analysis and the mean square error formula. The experimental results showed that both experimental participants showed significant improvement in word learning efficiency after using GAI, while the students with higher autonomy showed a smaller improvement, but they also made some progress. This implies that the GAI system generally has good applicability and potential teaching value among learners with different levels of autonomy.
