So Hank Green is apparently stepping back from his shit for a while after admitting to using AI for research and scriptwriting and acknowledging an unhealthy relationship with the dopamine hit he got from using it. I think this makes him one of the first high-profile users to acknowledge the problem? Which can’t be a good sign for the bubble.

A sign the bubble might pop yes, but also a sign how toxic the whole youtube space is. If a yt’er with 3M+ subs and 500k+ views per video on average feels the pressure to publish or perish like this.

At first I was wondering why everyone was talking about the guy from “Freddy Got Fingered” but that’s Tom Green. Anyways, glad the propane and propane accessories guy is taking a break from AI.
