Has writing the novel changed in the last several decades? It used to be very rare that any given writer would hit the best seller list, everyone else was steered towards taking writing classes or purchasing somewhat pricey seminars. What is the motive to defend AI writing bots? AI isn't going to be purchasing seminars or taking classes.

“Generative AI empowers not the artist, not the writer, but the tech industry,” Star Wars: Aftermath author Chuck Wendig said in response to NaNoWriMo’s stance. “It steals content to remake content, graverobbing existing material to staple together its Frankensteinian idea of art and story.”

The article is silent on the topic of religion, yet it is Abrahamic religions (including Christianity) which are historically hostile towards LGBT. I remember a news item I read years ago, the link is long lost, but it was about a Christian who considered it their religious duty to hate and they felt the U.S.'s First Amendment granted them the right to hate. That's quite the misinterpretation of "love your neighbor as yourself".
