YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

Two things are true: one, the “I appreciate the pushback” line was regarding his guest, not a leftover AI thing. Two, this is still strikes 2 and 3 for me. Been wary of him ever since the knitting debacle, and AI use is a bridge too far

Willing to elaborate on “knitting debacle”? I’m a late and infrequent watcher of his YouTube channel.

Been a minute since I watched it, but essentially Scishow did an episode about the science of knitting (and other forms of fabric crafting, which they did not adequately distinguish between) without consulting a single person who knits. It came off as really dismissive of the craft, like it’s somehow super surprising that knitting is actually interesting.

I’ll update this comment with a better explanation after work, check back in 12 hours
