When it comes to quality content that the whole family can enjoy, nobody is doing it like Jimmy \u201cMrBeast\u201c<\/strong> Donaldson. As YouTube\u2019s first billionaire, his thought provoking oeuvre spans classics like \u201cI Helped 2,000 People Walk Again<\/a>\u201d and \u201cWould You Risk Dying For $500,000?<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n

Arguments over the merits of his content \u2014 which often turn financially desperate people into living spectacles, lining Donaldson\u2019s pockets but allowing him to pass along some fraction of the gains to better his subjects\u2019 lives \u2014 have been rehashed for years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now, a telling new data point has emerged: Donaldson is worried that his niche could be threatened by AI.<\/p>\n

Posting on X-formerly-Twitter over the weekend, MrBeast fretted<\/a> that \u201cwhen AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to YouTube and how it will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cScary times,\u201d he admitted. <\/p>\n

Of course, the implication here is that MrBeast videos aren\u2019t exactly hard to reproduce. Typically depicting larger-than life competitions or outrageous stunts like \u201cLamborghini Vs World\u2019s Largest Shredder<\/a>,\u201d Donaldson\u2019s videos depend on the kind of reality-defying premise<\/a> AI excels at spitting out.<\/p>\n

Donaldson\u2019s existential worrying comes after the launch of OpenAI\u2019s Sora 2, generative AI software that lets users create short, photorealistic clips with alarming ease. Soon after its release, users began spoofing OpenAI\u2019s CEO Sam Altman into an endless variety of mocking scenarios, such as grilling a dead Pikachu<\/a>, or CCTV footage<\/a> of the exec shoplifting from Target.<\/p>\n

Altman seemed to take it in stride, though OpenAI did clamp down on the kind of content users could generate with Sora 2. \u201cIt is way less strange to watch a feed full of memes of yourself than i thought it would be,\u201d the CEO quipped<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

For Donaldson, however, the relationship with AI is a little murkier. Earlier this year, he announced he was using an \u201cAI tool\u201d designed to help YouTube creators churn out the kind of uncanny video thumbnails his young audience knows to look for.<\/p>\n

That quickly backfired, as fans and non-fans alike dogpiled on the MrBeast social media accounts demanding he hire human artists for his thumbnails. Since the backlash, Donaldson says he\u2019s stopped using AI and started hiring human digital artists, though he fell short of issuing an apology.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought people were going to be pretty excited about it, but I definitely missed the mark,\u201d he said at the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If nothing else, it sounds like Donaldson can now empathize with the human artists, musicians, and filmmakers whose work is being stolen and regurgitated<\/a> to fuel the rise of generative AI \u2014 it just took a threat to his bottom line.<\/p>\n
