Popular science creator Hank Green faced backlash after using ChatGPT to research a recent video. He issued an apology, admitting he developed an "unhealthy relationship" with AI and that its constant positive feedback made it easy to over-rely on it.
Green announced he is pausing his channel to rethink his workflow and set healthier boundaries for AI usage. Commenters joked that most of Green's viewers are likely already using AI for their own school research.
