Mike Drucker /

Anyway, have a great Labor Day! @drwallkick: the funniest part of “you can use AI in nanowrimo” is the entire point of communal writing sprints is to learn to finish things and work through the parts that suck. adding chatGPT to it is basically saying “you only have to power through and finish things if you feel like it”

Adam Christopher /
