NaNoWriMo gets AI sponsor, says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’ (pivot-to-ai.com)

If the only reason people care about NaNoWriMo is for the name and hashtag, somebody already pitched Writevember as a replacement. Honestly sounds better to me anyway.

I've heard other people say the tools/gamification/etc on the NaNoWriMo platform were really helpful though. For those people, how difficult would it be to potentially patch that stuff into the WriteFreely platform? As one of the only long-form Fediverse-native platforms still being actively developed, maybe they'd appreciate the boost in code contributions.

Um, question?

Did an organization which has a sole stated purpose of getting people to write something actually say that requiring someone to actually write something is ableist?

AI isn't writing any more than my dog taking a shit and then scooting her butt around on the carpet is modern art.

Honestly, your dog has a better chance of actually making you money than this AI shit these companies are trying to jam down our throats.
