    There wasn’t an intervention, he asked them about his AI use in response to the outrage and they agreed he’d been using it unhealthy.

    Seemed to me more along the lines of “do I have too much salt?” , “yeah you should cut back” ; Then “your coke problem is tearing this family apart”

      He said they “did not pull any punches” which implies it was a more blunt conversation than you’re suggesting.

      Hank Green himself describes his relationship with AI the same way you would an addiction, and specifically mentions the dopamine reaction driving his use of it to a point where he became overwhelmed by it.

      He’s not describing a casual discussion about table salt, he’s literally describing a drug/alcohol addiction.
