YouTuber Hank Green apologized after viewers noticed he had used ChatGPT to help script a video, with the chatbot's response accidentally included in the final edit. Green acknowledged using the AI tool for research and said he felt the chatbot interaction had become addictive, describing the dopamine hit from "doing more and more and more" as unhealthy. He plans to reduce his video production frequency and return to more intentional, personal content creation to rebuild trust with his audience.
