"King of YouTube" Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has just released a large-scale test video . The video content is a confrontation between the world's top athletes and the most modern machines.

Titled " World's Fastest Man vs. Robot," the video presents a series of dramatic challenges of strength, speed, and precision, aiming to find the answer to the question: Is the human era coming to an end?

Absolute power

MrBeast invited 7 of the best people in different fields to represent humanity, facing off against 7 machines considered to be the most advanced today, in a series of intense confrontations.

The fight opens with an impressive display of strength. World strength champion Thor Bjornsson (known as "The Mountain") goes up against a giant mechanical robot that is said to have 50 times the strength of a normal human.

The challenge was to flip 3 cars and pull a bus out of position. After a thrilling chase of flipping cars, the climax of the drama occurred in the final leg: Pulling the bus. With strong will and extraordinary effort, Thor won by a hair's breadth, bringing the first point to the human team.

The second challenge was a battle of speed and reflexes in baseball. Former professional player Eric Sim (who played for the Giants) faced off against a humanoid robot called “Neo,” equipped with a machine that launched a ball at an incredible speed of 150 mph.

Eric’s goal was to hit a home run from one of Neo’s 10 pitches. This was a near-impossible challenge, as the fastest pitch ever recorded by a human was only 169 km/h. Although initially stunned by the speed that defied all experience, Eric showed his pro skills, defeating the robot in 7 strikes to win the game, giving the humans a 2-0 lead.

The third challenge took place in the realm of rugby, focusing on accuracy. Adam, one of the world’s most accurate kickers, faced off against a robot. Despite high expectations, the pressure caused Adam to disappoint from the start, with his first kick going wide.

The race became tense when the robot also missed the first opportunity, giving hope to the human side. However, Adam continued to make mistakes in the following shots. On the contrary, the machine demonstrated superior calculation and repetition. The final victory belonged to the robot, reducing the overall score to 2-1.

This failure showed that psychological instability affected his performance, while the robot maintained a state of absolute calm .

Sublimation of skills

The situation became even more tense when four-time NBA champion Manu Ginóbili took to the basketball court to face off against a shooting robot that was considered the most elite. The rule was that the first person to hit two balls would win. The special condition was that the second basket was covered in spikes.

Manu quickly scored on the first shot, but missed the decisive shot at the dangerous basket. On the contrary, with almost absolute stability and the ability to calculate the trajectory, the robot absolutely won the ball throwing challenge, tying the score 2-2.

The highlight of the video is the F1 race. World-class driver George Russell competes with a Mercedes controlled by an advanced self-driving AI system. According to Mr Beast, this robot driver has faster reflexes than any human.

Although Russell fell behind the machine at times, he used the flexibility and improvisation that only humans possess to beat the AI's record time, bringing the humans back to a 3-2 lead.

The match then turned around as professional golfer Grant Horvette was defeated by the absolute accuracy of golf robot “Rob OT”. While Grant lacked the necessary stability, Rob OT demonstrated perfect accuracy and repeatability to bring the score to a 3-3 tie.

All eyes are on the final challenge: A 50m sprint between the world's fastest man - Noah Lyles and 3 different running robots: Unitree H1, G1 and Black Panther. The condition is that Noah must beat all 3 robots.

Noah easily overtook the first two humanoid robots (G1 and H1) with his superior speed. However, his final opponent was “Black Panther” (a 4-legged robot simulating a panther) with a running speed of up to 35 km/h. This machine followed Noah closely throughout the entire distance, creating a breathtaking chase. In the end, he still broke away to win by a hair’s breadth. The final score was 4-3 in favor of the human team.

At the end of the video, MrBeast concluded: "One day, robots will surpass us. But in 2025, humans will still win."

Although machines have demonstrated superior power and unimaginable precision, the human spirit, adaptability and unyielding will remain the key to ultimate victory.
