I remember #NaNoWriMo's innocent early days of simply cranking out a terrible first draft without your internal editor interfering, and then watched in disappointment over the years as it became institutionalized and started taking itself way too $eriou$ly.
This latest misstep isn't terribly $urpri$ing, and they surely won't be the last arts organization to make a tone deaf decision related to "AI" non$en$e.

@fskornia @glecharles Wow that's crazy. I've joined Nano 3x (and "won" all three) - it was just a fun time to challenge myself and to race with other people. So you need to submit your text now? How weird is that.

@glecharles The first thing I think of is how every participant is required to submit the text of their submission for validation.
I'm sure those millions and millions of words from thousands and thousands of writers looks like a very tasty buffet for data hungry AI models.

@liztai @glecharles The couple of times I completed it, I had to paste my work into a field on their website where it would have a word counter and validate your account as finishing.
