NaNoWriMo did not say that 'not writing your novel with AI is classist and ableist'.

What they did say however is almost worse:

We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.

So you're classist and ableist and probably privileged if you're against the use of AI.

Nah this is still a stupid point.

LLMs are not a writing tool at all, it's like saying it's classist to not be able to afford a ghostwriter.

Talent and effort are privileges and you should feel bad about them you scum
