Like they’re not big tech CEO rich, but they are rich enough that they’ve said they don’t need to worry about income.

And then he admitted he has been using it too much, to the point it’s been unhealthy for him. He’s been using it to generate notes, in an attempt to be more “productive”. It’s got to the point where he said himself that he isn’t sure what his process (with regard to researching and writing for videos) is anymore, which raises questions about the accuracy of the information he gives.

It depends what you define as drama.
I would say this is just about him breaking his community’s trust in him, and people let him know that. So now he’ll need to work to earn it back.
It isn’t really drama, but I can understand why people would feel a bit betrayed when they find out this person, who presents themselves as a science communicator, was heavily using a machine that is well known for hallucinations and spreading misinformation.
Additionally, Hank himself has said he is deeply concerned about the effects of AI on the climate crisis, the consolidation of economic power, and the way it was trained. Him heavily using it can makes it feel as though he doesn’t care about that stuff as much as it initially appeared. And given his community includes a lot of people heavily worried about the climate crisis, consolidation of economic power, and the theft of artists’ work, I think them being angry at him is understandable and expected.
Of course, hopefully he now steps back and reflects on this, and then comes back better. But that couldn’t happen without someone calling him on it first.
