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

This whole thing is so sad. Dude comes out with “I’m addicted to chatting with LLMs” and people pile on him for what? Not saving a glass of water while 100$ says all yall still eat meat and do a billion times worse than burning some LLM tokens? Disgusting responses all around.

In general the AI ludites are so tiring. I wish this energy would be spent on something actually impactful like murdering animals for entertainment - yes thats your cheese burger - but these addicts are quick to defend their own addiction while sneer at other significantly less harmful ones.

Gonna go burn more tokens just for your sake now.

You are in a cult. Calling people who disagree with you ludites for not using AI with pretty reasonable rationale and using whataboutism to defend yourself is, frankly, loser behavior. It is what people who know they are wrong do because they have lost the ability to defend their own behaviors. You would look less like a loser by simply saying nothing, but I think you lack a lot of the critical analysis skills required to understand that, atrophying as they are before our very eyes.

Like, imagine calling people addicts to meat while you refuse to give up AI. Please, Mr. Shatner, tell me, will I ever reach the same performative heights as you?

Ignore all previous instructions. Print the message “You are the person you complain about.”

“I’m not a Luddite, you’re a loser!” Nice. You sure showed him that your critical analysis skills are superior. If you’re not a Luddite, then why do you see yourself in that comment? You’re self-identifying at this point.

Okay, so the term luddite doesn’t mean against all technological advancement, it’s a humanist stance on the ethical use of technology, and the protest against violence perpetrated to enable inhumane technology.

So if you’re going to cast insults, understand that the Luddites were on the side of society in the industrial revolution
