Over the weekend, the nonprofit National Novel Writing Month organization (NaNoWriMo) published an FAQ<\/a> outlining its position on AI, calling categorical rejection of AI writing technology “classist” and “ableist.” The statement caused a backlash online, prompted four members<\/a> of the organization’s board to step down, and prompted a sponsor to withdraw<\/a> its support.<\/p>\n

“We believe that to categorically condemn AI would be to ignore classist and ableist issues surrounding the use of the technology,” wrote NaNoWriMo, “and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.”<\/p>\n

NaNoWriMo, known for its annual challenge where participants write a 50,000-word manuscript in November, argued in its post that condemning AI would ignore issues of class and ability, suggesting the technology could benefit those who might otherwise need to hire human writing assistants or have differing cognitive abilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
