Even the biggest name on YouTube is uneasy. Artificial intelligence<\/strong> is threatening the future of content creators. So, in the age of “AI slop<\/strong>,” does real creativity still stand a chance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, we encounter “AI slop<\/strong>“\u2014low-quality content produced by artificial intelligence\u2014everywhere, from social media feeds to videos. OpenAI<\/strong>‘s CEO, Sam Altman<\/strong>, suggests this situation could be an opportunity for creativity to evolve and that the quality of art and entertainment might even increase. However, most of us realize this is just a fancy mask. Artificial intelligence<\/a><\/em><\/strong> has the potential to corrupt art. I also raised this issue on my LinkedIn profile four months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, one of the people sharing this concern is the viral phenomenon MrBeast<\/strong> (Jimmy Donaldson). On his own social media accounts, he posed questions like, “What happens to YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and the millions of people who currently create content when AI videos<\/strong> are as good as normal videos?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MrBeast<\/strong> is at the pinnacle of the digital world. His career is different from creative fields like acting or the performing arts, but it is still connected to art. Being an influencer<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is one of the significant ways young people express themselves today. However, this profession is also getting its share of new forms of automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Donaldson’s company is valued at around $50 billion<\/strong> this year, its loss of over $110 million<\/strong> in 2024 is noteworthy. Producing viral content is a costly and risky business; running an “AI influencer<\/strong>” can be done at a much lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Actors and Real Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood also has to adapt to a new era. An AI actor<\/strong> named Tilly Norwood<\/strong>, recently introduced to the public, is not technically real; she is a digital creation by a company called Particle6<\/strong>. Reports that some industry players are interested in her are sparking debate among audiences and agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is an important point: the essence of art is its ability to connect with humanity. Emotion, ideas, experience… all are human-sourced. An algorithm generating images will not be enough on its own. MrBeast<\/strong> knows this well. His content features videos where people challenge hardships and dramatic moments are prominent\u2014these cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions About the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The takeover of the art and entertainment world by artificial intelligence<\/strong> could be an existential threat for content creators. If even giants like MrBeast<\/strong> are struggling to breathe, what chance do ordinary content creators have? What awaits us as viewers? Will AI<\/strong> truly enrich the creative world, or will it kill the soul of content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
