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 /

Stegosaurus Rex /
@diannethewriter: NaNoWriMo posted their new AI policy: https://nanowrimo.zendesk.com/ ... Their official position seems to be that it's ableist and classist to not support AI in writing. @swiftonsecurity: Refusing to acknowledge differences in ability, or the fact being less-skilled as a stage to be built upon not denied, is commodification of humanity so they can be replaced by convergent machine models, who do not suffer the differentiated growth and truth of actual personhood.

Moniza Hossain /
@moniza_hossain: Nanowrimo has been trash for quite a while now, but this is the final nail in the coffin of yuck. AI steals from artists and authors. It's not classist or ableist to condemn big corporations stealing from creatives, many of whom are poor and disabled
