Last week, OpenAI released the Sora 2 app, which looks like TikTok but is exclusively for AI videos. Users can generate 10-second clips with just a text prompt. By Friday, even though the app was invite-only, Sora had climbed to No. 1 on Apple\u2019s App Store.<\/p>\n<p>AI videos could pose fresh competition for the millions of creators who run active YouTube channels. Social Blade, a social media statistics site, currently estimates that there are over 68 million active YouTube channels worldwide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jimmy Donaldson.

He gained popularity for his viral, high-budget challenges and high-stakes giveaways.<\/p>\n<p>His influence also extends beyond YouTube: Last year, Donaldson worked with Amazon Prime Video to create the reality competition series \u201cBeast Games.\u201d The show, which aired the final episode of its first season on February 13, was the biggest unscripted show ever for Amazon, with 50 million viewers in its first 25 days. Amazon announced in May that it had renewed \u201cBeast Games\u201d for two additional seasons.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b> MrBeast Says He Lost \u2018Tens of Millions of Dollars\u2019 on His Hit Amazon Reality TV Show \u2018Beast Games\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"piano-meter-body tw:hidden\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow tw:prose tw:prose-lg tw:prose-blue tw:font-serif tw:max-w-[728px] tw:mb-12  tw:mx-auto tw:lg:mx-0\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"tw:mt-0 tw:mb-1 tw:font-sans tw:text-2xl\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"tw:font-semibold tw:font-sans tw:text-base tw:marker:text-blue-600\">\n<li>Jimmy Donaldson, who goes by MrBeast on social media, has more than 443 million YouTube subscribers.<\/li>\n<li>Donaldson wrote in a post on X on Sunday that AI had created \u201cscary times\u201d for content creators. <\/li>\n<li>MrBeast is questioning what happens to YouTubers when AI videos become \u201cjust as good\u201d as human-created ones. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>MrBeast, the world\u2019s top YouTuber with more than 443 million subscribers, is worried about what will happen to his fellow YouTube creators when it becomes impossible to tell AI-generated videos apart from human-created ones.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X on Sunday, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, said AI videos have created \u201cscary times\u201d for content creators.
