Conversation: MrBeast says AI could threaten creators’ livelihoods, calling it ‘scary times’ for the industry Crunch

A: Hey there! Have you seen the news about MrBeast lately?
B: No, what's up?

A: Well, he's been talking about AI and its impact on creators' livelihoods. He's worried that with new tools like Sora 2 from OpenAI, it could affect a lot of content creators.

B: Really? That's interesting. I didn't know MrBeast was so concerned about that.

A: Yeah, he's been posting on social media about how AI-generated videos might impact millions of creators making content for a living. He even called it "scary times."

B: Wow, if MrBeast is worried, I can imagine smaller creators are too. After all, he's number one on Forbes' 2025 list of top creators!

A: Exactly! And he's been using AI himself, like that tool for video thumbnails this summer. But he removed it after some backlash and replaced it with links to human artists instead.

B: I see. So there's still debate about whether the best videos will need a human mind or if AI can do it all. Some people think AI videos are low-quality content, though.

A: Right! And there's also concern that creators might lose their fans' trust if they use AI without disclosure. It could harm their reputation in the long run.

B: That sounds like something we should keep an eye on. Thanks for sharing the news with me, friend! Let's chat more about it later, maybe?

A: Absolutely, let's do that! Take care!
