MrBeast seems to have brought another disappointment to social media users, as well as artists, after it was pointed out that his company is searching for an AI concept artist.
Just last week, a social media user spotted a job listing for MrBeast’s company, specifically seeking a full-time remote AI concept artist skilled in digital art and 2D art, among other requirements. The listing has since been removed and is not visible as of this writing.
Hey @MrBeast go fuck yourself dude. Maybe put a real artist who needs a job on payroll instead of shilling out money for someone to put a prompt into a generator. Unbelievable pic.twitter.com/bFVP92K345

Many pointed out that it is ironic, as the recent winner of MrBeast’s YouTuber challenge, Jaiden Animations, plans to use the $1 million prize to help fund artists’ tuition fees.
Ok now I’m officially actually a big mr beast hater straight up
Jaiden JUST try funded art students with the money you fucking gave her and you are wasting money on people who took their jobs bravo bitch? https://t.co/sOscCsd8IZ

Artists and social media users on X shared their thoughts and reactions to this issue, expressing a range of opinions and perspectives on the matter.

I don't know, I get the feeling that a real artist would've been treated like shit if he did hire one.
He doesn't deserve them at all.

The fact that the winner of his last youtuber challenge wanted to use the prize money to keep art students from going into debt, and then he does this, is just a slap in the face to Jaiden who's been trying to fight against this sort of thing to begin with pic.twitter.com/BBBbJ4OX6G

Just goes to show that there’s no such thing as a “good” billionaire. You don’t become a billionaire by being a good person. You become one through greed, exploitation, and manipulation.

MrBeast was recently sued along with Amazon for apparent “unreasonable, unsafe” working conditions and that they were “shamelessly exploited” during the production of the show during the filming of his reality competition show ‘Beast Games.’
Other than this he was also on fire for the issue on inappropriate behavior of a former collaborator and colleague, and his recent food product collab with Logan Paul and KSI, ‘lunchly’ and seems like Jimmy keeps on hitting some blunders these past months.
