        TLDR EXPLANATION:
        Basically Chaotic AUR is just AUR that has been compiled so user doesn’t have to wait for a package to install.

        LONGER EXPLANATION:
        Chaotic-AUR is an unofficial package repository that provides pre-built packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR), allowing users to install software without building it from source. In contrast, the AUR requires users to compile packages themselves, offering a wider range of community-maintained software but requiring more technical knowledge and time.

        In contrast Chaotic AUR offered simpled way to install AUR packages, Chaotic AUR packages already cleaned from malware, spyware, etc so there’s no need to worry.
