NaNoWriMo Organizers Said It Was Classist and Ableist to Condemn AI. All Hell Broke Loose

Though it’s not clear what prompted the organization to release the message—which was published on its Zendesk page, where participants can learn more about the organization and troubleshoot issues, and not on NaNo’s official blog—it states that NaNoWriMo does not “explicitly support” or “condemn” any one approach to writing. Elaborating further, it says that to “categorically condemn AI would be to ignore classist and ableist issues surrounding the use of the technology.”
