National Novel Writing Month defended the use of AI. Now authors are stepping down from its board

Writers are storming off the board of a popular literary non-profit that challenges participants to write a 50,000 word novel in a month after it issued a statement supporting some use of artificial intelligence. NaNoWriMo wrote on Monday that it doesn’t explicitly condemn or endorse AI, and suggested opposition to the technology ignores “classist and ableist issues.”
