A bloke has created an AI version of MrBeast and it’s baffled even the man himself.
Take a look for yourself:
Artificial Intelligence is well and truly infiltrating our lives, whether we like it or not, from creating fake Celebrity Mortal Kombat video games to showing us what Leonardo Da Vinci’s legendary Mona Lisa painting would look like if it was created today.
Admittedly, some of the stuff is more useful than others, but there’s no denying it’s incredibly interesting.

For its latest move, technology has generated an AI version of YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson.
It was created after being prompted to do so by fellow online star Jesse Wellens for his Not a Normal Podcast, in which the AI MrBeast was actually interviewed.
Very 2023, right?

Showing off the strange clip on Twitter, Wellens wrote: “We created the AI version of Mr.Beast! You can even speak to him if you like? Check out our new podcast as we interviewed him.”
He added: “Also this is a test to start a conversation. We are NOT making money off his likeness.”
In the YouTube video caption, the podcasters ask: “Ever wondered how the renowned Mr. Beast would be if he were an AI?
“Stick around as we have an exclusive, mind-bending interview with the AI version of Mr. Beast. Expect the unexpected and brace yourselves for some AI-driven fun!”

It didn’t take long for Donaldson to see the bizarre creation, responding to Wellens’ tweet to say: “What in God’s name is this?”
Indeed.
Wellens then replied, using a sheepish eyes-poking-through-hands emoji: “We really wanted you on the show??”

While one person commented to say ‘this is the future’, others were as freaked out by the whole thing.
“This be the ppl you see in nightmares,” one said.
“It’s nightmare beast,” another wrote.

Someone else added: “SOUNDS LIKE HIS NOSE IS CLOGGED LOL.”
It also prompted an interesting debate about the use of AI on YouTube, with one other person saying: “I don’t think fully ai videos will work on YouTube. I couldn’t as a person care less that a MrBeast AI could give away a fictional planet as an example. The fact that it’s not real and didn’t happen makes me not invested. When knowing the real MrBeast did give away an island.”
