what is the story
Jimmy Donaldson, known as Mrbeast, YouTube's highest-paid creator, has expressed concern about the rapid rise of AI-generated videos. He fears this growing trend could pose a threat to the millions of creators who rely on the platform for their livelihood. “When AI video is as good as regular video, he tweeted.
Concerns emerge as Openai launches SORA 2 model
Mrbeast's concerns come as Openai has just launched Sora 2, its next generation AI video model. The SORA app has also been released on iOS in the US, making it easy to create AI-generated videos. This development has sparked a debate regarding copyright issues in the industry. Meanwhile, Meta has launched an exclusive AI-Only Feed in the Meta AI app for users to share their creations.
Mrbeast has previously tried to leverage AI
Despite current concerns, Mrbeast has previously sought to leverage AI with Viewstats' AI thumbnail tool. The platform he co-founded is designed to give creators a variety of tools for their YouTube channels. However, the tool has faced backlash over fears it could threaten the jobs of artists who create YouTube thumbnails. In response, MrBeast removed the tool and introduced a new system for creators to connect directly with these artists.
