YouTuber Hank Green is facing blowback over his use of AI in his video production. So what exactly did he do and why is it a big deal?

For a person who calls himself a science educator, and has self-awareness of the scope of his online influence, it's sad to see Hank Green admitting that he's been using an LLM to "help" write the scripts for his videos.

Hank Green's hand-wringing and "Yeah, but"-type justifications look familiar. It's the same talk I've heard from several other highly intelligent people, some of them friends I've known for years. They think their intelligence, reasoning skills, and experience with computers/science makes them immune to some all-too-human cognitive biases and emotional manipulation. This confidence makes them an ideal target, and puts them on the path to cognitive surrender to LLMs.

Excellent annihilation of a 'just being reasonable' climate change denial video.
I love Hank Green!

I found back an old vlogbrothers video that I really like.
It's about motivation, and it resonated a lot with me (and still does).

I've added it to the site as a curio. You can check those out here:

There are four fundamental types of people:

1. This who have never heard of John or Hank Green.
2. Those who were aware of John Green first.
3. Those who were aware of Hank Green first.
4. Those who were aware of both simultaneously (dftba!)

Want some truly awesome news? The Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone opened last week! This is going to be a huge deal for the families in that country.

They had 13 deliveries and admitted 27 patients on the first day.

Ett längre utlägg från Hank Green om hur vatten faktiskt används av AI-branschen och varför alla har fel. Det blir allt mer raljerande fram emot slutet, vilket känns symboliskt för att område som ger oss alla(på någon nivå) ångest. #AI #waterConsumption #HankGreen #VLogBrothers

De meest populaire app van dit moment is Focus Friend. Een onverwachte hit. Of misschien niet helemaal onverwacht.

What I learned from this video is that Tea is the #3 app in the US right now – mere days after a giant privacy leak scandal! And I keep having to learn just how true the old adage "all pr is good pr" really is...

I love everything about good.store, the webstore where 100% of the profit goes to a great charity!

But underwear that you're supposed to wash cold, preferably by hand? I don't know, man. I do not know.

Even if we “Thanos Snapped” Trump and his Minions from existence, without a change in values, someone just like him will inevitably reemerge as a product of our quasi-religious faith in Social Darwinist Neoliberalism because he is the inevitable consequence of these beliefs, not the cause of our immiseration.

#Nerdfighteria quote of the year.

"Why hate a people when you can hate an injustice? I be hating on TB fr fr."
- @cryowreck3193 commenting on #vlogbrothers youtube video 2025-02-18

I think this is my new creed:
Don't hate people, hate injustice.

(preparators of injustice will get some of that hate, and that's completely ok).

Worried about the mysterious drones in the US? Hank Green has your back...

YouTube vid that breaks it down.... Most likely it's nothing to worry about.

As a lover of data, and a hater of bad graphs, this video is great, also very mildly political.
